Abstract
The product of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene HLA−B*2703 differs from that of the prototypical subtype HLA−B*2705 by a single amino acid at heavy−chain residue 59 that is involved in anchoring the peptide N−terminus within the A pocket of the molecule. Two B*2703−peptide complexes were crystallized using the hanging−drop vapour−diffusion method using PEG 8000 as a precipitant. The crystals belong to space group P21 (pVIPR peptide) or P212121 (pLMP2 peptide). Data sets were collected to 1.55 Å (B*2703−pVIPR) or 2.0 Å (B*2703−pLMP2) resolution using synchrotron radiation. With B*2705−pVIPR as a search model, a clear molecular−replacement solution was found for both B*2703 complexes
