Destructive processing by asparagine endopeptidase limits presentation of a dominant T cell epitope in MBP.
Little is known about the processing of putative human autoantigens and why tolerance is established to some T cell epitopes but not others. Here we show that a principal human HLA-DR2-restricted epitope--amino acids 85-99 of myelin basic protein, MBP(85-99)--contains a processing site for the cyste...
