Five HLA-DP molecules frequently expressed in the worldwide human population share a common HLA supertypic binding specificity.
Compared with DR and DQ, knowledge of the binding repertoires and specificities of HLA-DP alleles is somewhat limited. However, a growing body of literature has indicated the importance of DP-restricted responses in the context of cancer, allergy, and infectious disease. In the current study, we developed high-throughput binding assays for the five most common HLA-DPB1 alleles in the general wo...
متن کاملThe HLA molecules DQA1*0501/B1*0201 and DQA1*0301/B1*0302 share an extensive overlap in peptide binding specificity.
Assays to measure the binding capacity of peptides for HLA-DQA1*0501/B*0201 (DQ2.3) and DQA1*0301/B*0302 (DQ3.2) were developed using solubilized MHC molecules purified from EBV-transformed cell lines. These quantitative assays, based on the principle of the inhibition of binding of a high-affinity radiolabeled ligand, were validated by examining the binding capacity of known DQ-restricted epit...
متن کاملComplementarity of Binding Motifs is a General Property of HLA-A and HLA-B Molecules and Does Not Seem to Effect HLA Haplotype Composition
Different human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes (i.e., the specific combinations of HLA-A, -B, -DR alleles inherited together from one parent) are observed in different frequencies in human populations. Some haplotypes, like HLA-A1-B8, are very frequent, reaching up to 10% in the Caucasian population, while others are very rare. Numerous studies have identified associations between HLA haplo...
متن کاملOverlap in the repertoires of peptides bound in vivo by a group of related class I HLA-B allotypes
BACKGROUND Polymorphism among class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) confers allotypic specificity on the peptides that these molecules bind and present to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Evolution of new human HLA class I alleles usually involves gene recombination events that replace a segment of one allele with the homologous region of another. In this study, the impact of ...
متن کاملA HLA-DRB supertype chart with potential overlapping peptide binding function
HLA-DRB alleles are class II alleles that are associated with CD4+ T-cell immune response. DRB alleles are polymorphic and currently there are about 622 named in the IMGT/HLA sequence database. Each allele binds short peptides with high sensitivity and specificity. However, it has been suggested that majority of HLA alleles can be covered within few HLA supertypes, where different members of a ...
