Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MHC class II molecules play an important role by presenting peptides to helper T cells. We have found that antibodies against peptide/MHC class II complex are produced during immune response. In this study, we analyzed the anti-peptide/MHC class II complex antibodies. We found that anti-peptide/MHC class II complex antibodies are produced by specific peptide sequence, block T cell response and suppress autoimmune diseases. These findings suggested that anti-peptide/MHC class II complex antibodies play an important role by suppressing T cell response.
