Susceptibility and resistance to type 1 diabetes are associated with MHC class II alleles that
carry non-Asp and Asp at residue 57 of their beta chain respectively. The effect of Asp or non …

Both α and β chain polymorphisms determine the specificity of the disease-associated HLA-DQ2 molecules, with β chain residues being most influential

We compared the peptide binding specificity of three HLA-DQ molecules; HLA-DQ (α1*
0501, β1* 0201), HLA-DQ (α1* 0201, β1* 0202), and HLA-DQ (α1* 0501, β1* 0301). The first …

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are peptide receptors which
present fragments of degraded proteins to CD4+ T cells (Shimonkevitz et al. 1984; Germain …
