MHC molecules are peptide receptors of peculiar specificity (Falk et al. 1991; for review, see Rammensee et al. 1993). Each MHC allelic product has its individual peptide specificity, summarized as a peptide motif that is characterized by the position and occupancy of anchor residues whose side chai

gene used for transfection had been cloned from a Japanese individual and was confirmed by sequencing to be B'I501 (M. Takiguchi and co-workers, unpublished results). Transfectants were expanded in about 30 to 50 1 of roller bottle cultures. Cell pellets of 20 to 50 ml were detergent lysed, and the
HLA-B\*3501 and HLA-B\*3503 molecules differ by a single amino acid located in the [~-pleated sheet of the c~2 domain. In order to clarify the basis of the strict distinction between these highly related class I molecules by several alloreactive T cell clones , we determined the motif of HLA-B\*3503
