We identified many MHC class II promiscuous binders from an array of microbial antigens like transketolase, epidermal growth factors, CDA peptide synthetase I, tRNA/rRNA methyltransferase, DNA topoisomerase I, dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase etc. These antigens are associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, primary biliary cirrhosis, sarcoidosis, type-2 autoimmune hepatitis etc. Some of these antigens exhibited high affinity binding with MHC class II molecules. Here, DLAT is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
