with defined
positions are highly complex pools of peptide ligands. They can be used for the rapid and unambiguous determination
of the amino acid residues responsible for binding to MHC class I and II molecules. The side chains of the amino acids
required for the T-cell recognition of the peptide/MHC complex can be determined in a chromium release assay.
Our results provide a basis, independent of the analysis of natural ligand pools
, for the
development of new assays and immunotherapeutics, as well as for the understanding of protein/peptide interactions.
In addition, cyclopeptide libraries have been developed and applied to inhibit protein/ligand interaction.
