Critical role for the Val/Gly86 HLA-DR beta dimorphism in autoantigen presentation to human T cells.
Helper T lymphocytes recognize fragments of foreign (or self) antigens in the peptide-binding clefts of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules; their activation is a crucial step in the induction of many immune and autoimmune responses. While studying the latter, we raised a T-cell line...
