HLA-Peptide Interaction to Short Peptide Vaccine Design

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Protein-Protein and Domain-Domain Interactions

Abstract

Short peptide vaccine design is based on the principle of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide (antigen) interaction. HLA-peptide binding is the bottleneck for T-cell-mediated immune response. The specific binding of peptide with defined HLA allele is highly sensitive. HLA alleles are polymorphic, and their binding to antigen peptide is selective and specific. We discuss the importance of HLA-peptide in the design of short peptides as EPITOPES for vaccine consideration.
