Differential peptide dynamics is linked to major histocompatibility complex polymorphism.
Peptide presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is of central importance for immune responses, which are triggered through recognition of peptide-loaded MHC molecules (pMHC) by cellular ligands such as T-cell receptors (TCR). However, a unifying link between structural features of pMHC and cellular responses has not been established. Instead, pMHC/TCR binding studies su...

متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex–linked Control of Autoimmunity
A lthough the MHC is a key genetic component in au-toimmune disease, our knowledge of the mechanisms by which the molecules encoded within the MHC influence autoimmune processes remains incomplete. Because of the linkage disequilibrium that exists among the class I, II, and III genes within the HLA complex in humans and the homologous MHC complex in rodents, the absolute contribution of the ind...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex: Polymorphism from Coevolution
There are many examples of pathogens adapting toward evasion of immune responses. Viruses, such as influenza, rapidly alter their genetic make-up, and each year there appear to be sufficient susceptible hosts that lack memory lymphocytes from previous influenza infections to give rise to a new epidemic (Both et al. 1983; Smith et al. 1999). During human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, s...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex Polymorphism in Reptile Conservation
—Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are closely related to disease resistance and immune response in vertebrates. Although many groups are well represented in the MHC literature, less attention has been given to reptiles. Here we summarize reptile MHC studies, review published accounts investigating links between MHC polymorphism, parasite resistance, and mate choice, evaluate ...
