摘要: In order to clarify the structure and the peptide-presentation characteristics of the equine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule, a complex of equine MHC class I molecule (ELA-A1 haplotype, 7-6 allele) with mouse beta 2-microglobulin and the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope Env-RW12 (RVEDVTNTAEYW) derived from equine infectious anaemia virus (EIAV) envelope protein (residues 195206) was refolded and crystallized. The crystal, which belonged to space group P21, diffracted to 2.3 angstrom resolution and had unit-cell parameters a = 82.5, b = 71.4, c = 99.8 angstrom, beta = 102.9 degrees. The crystal structure contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit. These results should help to determine the first equine MHC class I molecule structure presenting an EIAV CTL epitope.
