Abstract: | HLA-DQ molecules have been associated with susceptibility to a number of autoimmune and other diseases, possibly through
the peptide repertoire that can be presented by different allelic products. It is thus of importance to understand which peptides
can be bound by different HLA-DQ allelic products. Recently, a model for HLA-DQ has been described and used to derive peptide positional environments for
HLA-DQ allelic products. By combining the peptide positional environments with known HLA-DQ peptide binding motifs, a set of predictions
of likely anchor motifs for many of the products of HLA-DQ allelic variants are made and presented in a table referred to as a roadmap for HLA-DQ peptide binding specificities.
