T-cell epitopes that are frequently recognized by T cells of celiac disease patients (e.g. DQ2-α-I, DQ2-α-II/DQ2-α-III) were represented by their intact 9mer sequences whereas the T-cell epitopes that are infrequently recognized (e.g. DQ2-γ-II, Glia-α20, Glt-17) were represented by partial 9mer sequences. The gene discussed is TOR1A; the disease is celiac disease.
