Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the human class I histocompatibility antigen, HLA-A2.

TL;DR: The class I histocompatibility antigen from human cell membranes has two structural motifs: the membrane-proximal end of the glycoprotein contains two domains with immunoglobulin-folds that are paired in a novel manner and the region distal from the membrane is a platform of eight antiparallel β-strands topped by α-helices.
Journal ArticleDOI

The foreign antigen binding site and T cell recognition regions of class I histocompatibility antigens

TL;DR: Most of the polymorphic amino acids of the class I histocompatibility antigen, HLA-A2, are clustered on top of the molecule in a large groove identified as the recognition site for processed foreign antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional structure of the human class II histocompatibility antigen HLA-DR1

TL;DR: A dimer of the class II αβ heterodimers is seen in the crystal forms of HLA-DR1, suggesting class II HLA dimerization as a mechanism for initiating the cytoplasmic signalling events in T-cell activation.
