THE REGULATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF CYTOTOXIC T CELL LYMPHOCYTES WITH MHC CLASS I PEPTIDES

摘要

Fragments from the polymorphic domains of Class I HLA antigen domains are used to modulate T-cell activity. The peptides are from the alpha 1- or alpha 2 domains, particularly of the HLA-A, and B antigens. The peptides may be conjugated to other compounds to be used in diagnosis and therapy. The peptides may block lysis, CTL proliferation or have other regulating effects.
