Cross-restriction of a T cell clone to HLA-DR alleles associated with rheumatoid arthritis: clues to arthritogenic peptide motifs.
OBJECTIVE: To identify distinctive sequence motifs required for productive peptide presentation by those HLA-DR alleles/DR4 subtypes that predispose to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: We tested 10 different HLA-DR4 subtypes for presentation of acetylcholine receptor peptides to 8 different DR4-r...
