MOTIVATION: Many biological processes are guided by receptor interactions with linear ligands of variable length. One such receptor is the MHC class I molecule. The length preferences vary depending on the MHC allele, but are generally limited to pep...
A key event in the generation of a cellular response against malicious organisms through the endocytic pathway is binding of peptidic antigens by major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC class II) molecules. The bound peptide is then presented ...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain protein 3 (Tim-3) on CD56(+) NK cells in peripheral blood and its correlation with liver fibrosis indicators in patients with advanced schistosomiasis.
BACKGROUND: Numerous organisms have evolved a wide range of toxic peptides for self-defense and predation. Their effective interstitial and macro-environmental use requires energetic and structural stability. One successful group of these peptides in...
