The Peptides Bound by a Single MHC Protein Share a Common

Question

The peptides bound by a single MHC protein share a common
A) C domain.
B) peptide motif.
C) V domain.
D) nucleotide sequence.

Accepted Answer

MHC proteins display peptides on the cell surface for recognition by T cells. The peptides bound by a single MHC protein share a common peptide motif, meaning they possess certain amino acid characteristics that allow them to be recognized and bound by the MHC protein. This peptide motif is what allows T cells to recognize and respond to the peptide-MHC complex.
