Thus, identifi cation of new antigenic peptides, derived from infectious agents or tumor antigens, which may bind to HLA-I or HLA-II molecules in exchange with self-peptides normally occupying the HLA-binding site ( see below), is important for developing new effective vaccines capable of activating the cellular arm of the immune responses. To reduce this complexity, one option is to group thousands of different HLA molecules into clusters of several so-called HLA supertypes: a classifi cation that refers to a group of HLA alleles with largely overlapping peptide binding specifi cities. ./cache/cord-007719-3ypv9k9p.txt ./txt/cord-007719-3ypv9k9p.txt
