HLADRpeptides
HLADR peptides refer to short amino acid sequences derived from proteins that are presented on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) via Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (HLA-DR) molecules. These molecules play a critical role in the adaptive immune system by facilitating the recognition of foreign antigens, particularly those derived from extracellular pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
HLA-DR molecules are expressed primarily on professional APCs, including dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages. They
The specificity of HLA-DR peptides is determined by the binding groove of the HLA-DR molecule, which varies
Understanding HLA-DR peptides is essential in immunology, vaccine development, and the study of autoimmune disorders. Research
