Abstract:MHC molecules present peptides in their binding groove to T-cell receptors inducing proliferation or cytotoxicity of alloreactive T cells. A previously generated human monoclonal antibody (mAb) UL-5 Al, recognizing a conformationa l epitope formed by HLA DRl/DRBl *0101 molecules and HLA-A2 derived peptides, demonstrates Tcell-like recognition of the peptide/MHC complex (PMC). To stud y the genes of the antigen binding region, the nucleotide sequences of the rearranged genes in the variable regions of UL-5 Al w… Show more
