title: Peptide-MHC interaction in autoimmunity.
abstract: Our increased understanding of the molecular basis of autoimmunity owes much to an appreciation of general principles governing peptide-MHC interactions. Such understanding may help resolve long-standing questions concerning autoimmune diseases and aid development of improved therapeutic strategies for their treatment.
