3 Figure 2 Potential Mechanisms of HLA-Associated Impact on Viral Control The HLA class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of three alpha helices and β-2 microglobulin. The alpha 1 and alpha 2 domains together form the peptide binding groove, which presents viral peptides at the surface of an infected cell, and this complex is in turn recognized by the T cell receptor on CD8+ T cells, through interactions with both the TCR and CD8 receptor (shown). The HLA molecule or peptide-HLA complex may also bind KIR and LILR (not shown). The mechanisms by which HLA and its interactions with CD8+ T cells, TCR, epitope, and infected cells, as well as HLA-specific mechanisms, have been shown to modulate the efficacy of HIV control are listed.
