A Micropolymorphism Altering the Residue Triad 97/114/156 Determines the Relative Levels of Tapasin Independence and Distinct Peptide Profiles for HLA-A24 Allotypes

Figure 5

Length of peptides presented by HLA-A24/156 variants. -axis represents the peptide length and -axis represents percentage prevalence of peptides of a given length. Crossed, grey, and black bars represent values from sHLA-A24:02, sHLA-A24:06, and HLA-A24:13, respectively. sHLA-A24/156 variants were found to present a large number of peptides of extraordinary length notably in the absence of TPN.
