متن کاملPredicting Epitopes for MHC Molecules
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) plays a key role in immune response by presenting antigenic peptides, which are recognizable to T-cells. Identifying MHCbinding peptides is crucial to understand pathogenesis and develop corresponding vaccines. Direct identification of MHC-binding peptides by biological assays is laborious and expensive, because of the huge size (20) of potential combinati...
متن کاملMHC Molecules: Structure and Genetics
BIG PICTURE: T cells are a critical player in the adaptative immune system, but unlike B cells whose B Cell Receptor (BCR) can interact with soluble antigen, the T cell can only see antigen in the form of short peptides that has been processed and displayed on the cell surface bound to MHC Class I and Class II molecules. Each TCR is clonotypic meaning that it has undergone the process of positi...
