Kinetics of antigenic peptide binding to the class II major histocompatibility molecule I-Ad.
Using high-performance size-exclusion chromatography and fluorescence spectroscopy, we investigated the kinetics of fluorescent peptide reactions with detergent-solubilized I-Ad, a class II molecule of the mouse major histocompatibility complex. At pH 7.0 and 37 degrees C the half-time for the binding of a fluorescein-labeled synthetic peptide representing ovalbumin amino acids 323-339 [FOva-(3...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class I and MHC Class II Proteins: Conformational Plasticity in Antigen Presentation
Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins is essential for adaptive immunity. Prior to presentation, peptides need to be generated from proteins that are either produced by the cell's own translational machinery or that are funneled into the endo-lysosomal vesicular system. The prolonged interaction between a T cell receptor and specific pMHC complexes, after an ex...
متن کاملFrequency of Major Histocompatibility Antigens Class I in Mazandaran Province
Background and purpose: Major histocompatibility antigens are the most polymorphic components of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a population in Mazandaran province, Iran. Materials and methods: In a cross sectional study, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 550 people in Immunogenetics Research Center af...
متن کاملPeptide sequences binding to MHC class I proteins.
Motifs for peptides which bind specifically to the human class I major histocompatibility complex molecules HLA-A2 and B7 were determined by sequence analysis of class I-bound peptides selected from a random synthetic library of nonamers. Thirteen individual peptides were sequenced for HLA-A2, twelve individual and nine pooled peptides were sequenced for HLA-B7. Analysis of sequence alignment i...
متن کاملDeterminant selection of major histocompatibility complex class I- restricted antigenic peptides is explained by class I-peptide affinity and is strongly influenced by nondominant anchor residues
The contribution of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-peptide affinity to immunodominance of particular peptide antigens (Ags) in the class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response is not clearly established. Therefore, we have compared the H-2Kb-restricted binding and presentation of the immunodominant ovalbumin (OVA)257-264 (SIINFEKL) determinant to that of a subdominan...
