The third hypervariable region (HV3) of HLA-DRB1*0401 helps the development of severe rheumatoid arthritis by an unknown mechanism. To test whether the third hypervariable region of HLA-DRB1*0401 may shape the T cell repertoire, we studied proliferative responses to peptides encompassing the third hypervariable region of seven HLA-DRB1 alleles in normal subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We found that, in general, there is no tolerance to peptides from the third hypervariable region of self-HLA-DRB1 alleles. However, a peptide from the third hypervariable region of DRB1*0401 (DRB1*0401 HV3 peptide) is tolerated in people who express HLA-DRB1*0401. Indeed, PBMCs from people who express DRB1*0401 do not proliferate to DRB1*0401 HV3 peptide. Conversely, people who express DRB1*1501 respond to DRB1*0401 HV3 peptide. Finally, people who express both DRB1*0401 (nonresponder haplotype) and DRB1*1501 (high responder haplotype) do not respond to DRB1 HV3 peptide, thus demonstrating tolerance. Therefore, the third hypervariable region of HLA-DRB1*0401 shapes the T cell repertoire.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D006683 HLA-DQ Antigens A group of the D-related HLA antigens found to differ from the DR antigens in genetic locus and therefore inheritance. These antigens are polymorphic glycoproteins comprising alpha and beta chains and are found on lymphoid and other cells, often associated with certain diseases.

D006684 HLA-DR Antigens A subclass of HLA-D antigens that consist of alpha and beta chains. The inheritance of HLA-DR antigens differs from that of the HLA-DQ ANTIGENS and HLA-DP ANTIGENS. HLA-DR,Antigens, HLA-DR,HLA DR Antigens

D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated. Rheumatoid Arthritis
D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D017634 Self Tolerance The normal lack of the ability to produce an immunological response to autologous (self) antigens. A breakdown of self tolerance leads to autoimmune diseases. The ability to recognize the difference between self and non-self is the prime function of the immune system. Self Tolerances,Tolerance, Self,Tolerances, Self
