Immune responses to bacterial antigens that appear unrestricted by the MHC may involve oligomorphic MHC class Ib molecules. One example is H-2M3, which binds N-formylated peptides and presents a Listeria peptide to cytotoxic T cells from infected mice. Lack of polymorphism makes these molecules a promising target for peptide vaccines.
对不受主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)限制的细菌抗原的免疫反应可能涉及寡态性MHC Ib类分子。一个例子是H-2M3,它结合N-甲酰化肽,并将李斯特菌肽呈递给受感染小鼠的细胞毒性T细胞。缺乏多态性使这些分子成为肽疫苗的一个有前景的靶点。
