The epitope was eluted from human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines expressing full-length or truncated HLA A*02:01 gene such that they express membrane-bound and secreted HLA A*02:01, or JETHOM cells.
The epitope sequence was cited in Nayak et al. Viral Immunol. 2010 Apr;23(2):169-80 [PMID:20373997]. Similar results were seen for (B10 x B10.S) F1 mice (H-2bxs). Also, little apparent difference was
