Abstract

The binding characteristics of the primary anchor residue motifs reported for HLA-A2 (A*0201, A*0205) and HLA-B27 (B*2705) alleles were investigated by a direct binding assay of the pertinent synthetic peptides to HLA class I alpha chains derived from a panel of HLA homozygous B-cell lines of various HLA phenotypes, including four A2 subtypes. The assay is based on a serologic detection of the conformational change of HLA class I alpha chains induced by binding to specific peptides in the presence of beta 2m. It is applicable to test a large number of HLA allelic products and synthetic peptides. Assay data confirmed the high allele specificity of the anchor residue motifs tested, but also revealed the intra- and interlocus cross-reactivity of these motifs. In the case of A2 anchor motifs, not only a broad cross-reactivity within the A2 subgroup, but also cross-reactivities with A24, A26, A28, and A29 were observed. With B27 anchor motifs, an interlocus cross-reactivity with A3 and A31 was seen. Several peptides, even though they carried A2 or B27 major anchor residue motifs, failed to bind to the relevant alpha chains, suggesting that the presence of a primary anchor residue motif is necessary for HLA class-I-peptide binding but is not by itself sufficient to guarantee binding.
