Abstract

The complexity and fine specificity of the allospecific T-cell response generated against the human HLA-A2.1 molecule and the characterization of the antigenic determinants that anti-HLA-A2 alloreactive CTLs recognize in the molecule has been analyzed using as targets, cell lines expressing HLA-A2 CTL-variants and the human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line (RD) transfected and expressing HLA-A2 mutants obtained by site-directed mutagenesis.
