We isolated and identified naturally processed peptides selected by antigen-presenting cells homozygous for expression of I-A(g7) or I-A(d) class II MHC molecules, or from heterozygous antigen-presenting cells that express I-A(g7) along with I-A(g7PD) or I-A(d). Identification of large numbers of peptides demonstrated that despite being closely related on a structural level, each class II MHC molecule selected for very unique peptides. The large data sets allowed us to definitively establish the preferred peptide-binding motifs critical for selection of peptides by I-A(g7), I-A(g7PD), and I-A(d). Finally, extensive analyses of peptide families reveals that there was little competition among class II MHC alleles for display of peptides and that presence of one allele had minimal impact on the repertoire of peptides selected by another.
我们从纯合表达I-A(g7)或I-A(d) II类主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)分子的抗原呈递细胞中,或从同时表达I-A(g7)与I-A(g7PD)或I-A(d)的杂合抗原呈递细胞中,分离并鉴定了自然加工的肽段。大量肽段的鉴定表明,尽管在结构水平上密切相关,但每个II类MHC分子选择的肽段都非常独特。这些庞大的数据集使我们能够明确确定对于I-A(g7)、I-A(g7PD)和I-A(d)选择肽段至关重要的优选肽结合基序。最后,对肽家族的广泛分析表明,II类MHC等位基因之间在肽段展示方面几乎没有竞争,并且一个等位基因的存在对另一个等位基因选择的肽段库影响极小。
