Functional consequences of the binding of MHC class II-derived peptides to MHC class II.
Three MHC class II-derived synthetic peptides (I-A beta (g7)1-16, I-A beta (g7)52-77 and I-A alpha (g7)63-82YC) were analyzed for their ability to bind to syngeneic and allogeneic MHC class II molecules using a whole cell, competitive peptide binding assay. These studies demonstrated that the A beta (g7)1-16 peptide was able to specifically bind to syngeneic as well as to four allogeneic MHC cl...
متن کاملPredicting the binding affinity of MHC class II peptides.
MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) proteins are categorized under the heterodimeric integral membrane proteins. The MHC molecules are divided into 2 subclasses, class I and class II. Two classes differ from each other in size of their binding pockets. Predicting the affinity of these peptides is important for vaccine design. It is also vital for understanding the roles of immune system in v...
متن کاملRobust Classification of MHC Class II Peptides
Adaptive immune system is one of the human body’s defense mechanisms developed to protect against repeated infection by the same pathogen through immunologic memory. Vaccination uses this concept to design vaccines to protect our bodies from infectious diseases. Some cells of the immune response cannot recognize antigen fragments unless attached to Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecul...
متن کاملBuilding a meta-predictor for MHC class II-binding peptides.
Prediction of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide binding is a challenging task due to variable length of binding peptides. Different computational methods have been developed; however, each has its own strength and weakness. In order to provide reliable prediction, it is important to design a system that enables the integration of outcomes from various predictors. In this c...
متن کاملMotifs and supermotifs for MHC class II binding peptides
I n the last few years, our understanding of the mechanisms 9 involved in the interaction between major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and antigenic peptides has greatly increased. The determination of the x-ray structure of a human class II molecule (1, 2), the selection of large, class II-bound, peptide repertoires using M13 peptide display libraries (3, 4), and the chara...
