Finally, eight nested peptides surrounding the predicted DQ6 (DQA1*03:01/DQB1*06:01) core epitope NQPGVLIQV corresponds to a partial overlap with the known CD4+ T1D-associated MHC-II epitope TKQTQIFTTYSDNQPGVLI, from HSPA1B (Table 1). The gene discussed is HSPA1B; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
