Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis of 2C TCR Allorecognition of H-2Ld Peptide Complexes

TL;DR: Weak electrostatic complementarity between Asp77 on the alpha1 helix of Kb and 2C is enhanced in the allogeneic complex by closer proximity of QL9 peptide residue AspP8 to the 2C HV4 loop.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro peptide binding to soluble empty class I major histocompatibility complex molecules isolated from transfected Drosophila melanogaster cells.

TL;DR: A soluble form of a mouse class I major histocompatibility antigen (H-2Kb) expressed in transfected Drosophila melanogaster cells is expressed andKinetic analyses showed that the peptide binding is rapid and reversible and dependent on the heavy chains being assembled with beta 2m, and no dominant residue was observed at the carboxyl terminus of bound peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Empty and peptide-containing conformers of class I major histocompatibility complex molecules expressed in Drosophila melanogaster cells

TL;DR: Transfected Drosophila melanogaster cells can express large quantities of class I major histocompatibility complex molecules, and all beta 2-microglobulin-induced conformers of empty heavy chains seem to be unified in a common rigid conformation on peptide binding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the murine immune response I-Aβ locus: Sequence of the I-Aβ gene and an adjacent β-chain second domain exon

TL;DR: A clone containing the entire I-A β gene and a separate exon encoding a β-chain second domain (A β2) was isolated from a mouse spleen DNA cosmid library of the b haplotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha chain of HLA-DR transplantation antigens is a member of the same protein superfamily as the immunoglobulins

TL;DR: The subunits of immunoglobulins, class I antigens and class II antigen are related evolutionarily, and the complete amino acid sequence is predicted.
