MHCs are the gatekeepers of the immune system.

1.) LOCATE: Present peptides that may be viral.

2.) ACTIVATE: Activate immune defense mechanisms.

HLA

Understanding the HLA:

Structural chemistry (x-ray crystallography), biological processes, role within the immune system, binding behavior, statistical distribution.2 ways of looking at this:

1.) Descriptive

2.) Functional

What fits in an HLA?

Binding Motifs:

Hypothesis: HLA binding entirely determined by a few AA (1-3) on the peptide.

Approach: Check peptide for anchor residue.

Calculate theoretically?

Binding Motifs:

i.e A1 Serotype: X X [D/E] X X X [Y]

X X [D/E] X X X X [Y]

X X [D/E] X X X X X [Y]

Binds peptides: BK[D]LGGSD[Y]

What fits in an HLA?

Quantitative Matrices:

Hypothesis: Binding is determined by AA on the specific HLA.

Approach: Construct a virtual matrix and determine a threshold value. Check if product of AA values in virtual matrix exceed threshold.
