Goodpasture's disease provides an opportunity to analyse molecular mechanisms that may underlie MHC class II associations with autoimmune disease because it is caused by autoimmunity to a defined antigen [the 230 amino acid NC1 domain of the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen (w alpha 3(1V)NC1)] and has strong HLA class II associations. We compared the alpha 3(1V)NC1 peptide binding of class II molecules with strong positive (DR15) and dominant negative (DR7/1) associations using an inhibition binding assay and short synthetic peptides spanning the sequence of alpha 3(1V)NCI. DR15 in general bound the peptides with low affinity (three of 23 < 100 nM) compared to DR1 and DR7 (12 and 10 < 100 nM respectively), and no peptide bound DR15 with much higher affinity (10-fold) than both DR1 and DR7, Thus DR15 molecules are unlikely to increase susceptibility to Goodpasture's disease by presenting a particular alpha 3(IV)NC1-derived peptide uniquely well and DR1/7 are unlikely to protect by their inability to present particular peptides. However DR1/7 could protect by capturing a3(1V)NCI peptides and preventing their display bound to DR15; the binding data suggest that all the major (biochemically detectable) alpha 3(1V)NCI peptides presented bound to DR15 by DR15 homozygous antigen-presenting cells (APC) would bind preferentially to DR1/7 in DR15, 1/7 heterozygote APC.
