Recovery of known T-cell epitopes by computational scanning of a viral genome.

A new computational method (EpiDock) is proposed for predicting peptide binding to class I MHC proteins, from the amino acid sequence of any protein of immunological interest.

Antigen

Limited plasticity in the recognition of peptide epitope variants by an alloreactive CTL clone correlates directly with conservation of critical residues and inversely with peptide length.

Although self-restricted T cells are peptide-specific and can distinguish among closely related ligands, they have some flexibility in the recognition of sequence variants of their …

Amino Acid

Solution structure of a conformationally constrained Arg-Gly-Asp-like motif inserted into the alpha/beta scaffold of leiurotoxin I.

A monoclonal antibody, AC7, directed against the RGD-binding site of the GPIIIa subunit of the platelet fibrinogen receptor, interacts with activated platelet.

Alleles

The same natural ligand is involved in allorecognition of multiple HLA-B27 subtypes by a single T cell clone: role of peptide and the MHC molecule in alloreactivity.

The human alloreactive CTL clone 27S69, raised against B*2705, cross-reacts with B*2702 and B*2703, but not with B*2701, B*2704, B*2706, or B*2710.

Amino Acid Sequence

Fine specificity of antigen binding to two class I major histocompatibility proteins (B2705 and B2703) differing in a single amino acid residue.

Starting from the X-ray structure of a class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded protein (HLA-B*2705), a naturally presented self-nonapeptide and two synthetic …
