Post translational modifications can enhance immunogenicity of self-proteins. In several conditions including hypertension, systemic lupus, and heart failure, isolevuglandins (IsoLGs) are formed by lipid peroxidation and covalently bond with protein lysine residues. Here we show that the murine class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) variant H-2Db uniquely presents isoLG modified peptides and developed a computational pipeline that identifies structural features for MHC-I accommodation of such peptides. We identified isoLG-adducted peptides from renal proteins including the sodium glucose transporter 2, Cadherin 16, Kelch Domain containing protein 7A and solute carrier family 23, that are recognized by CD8+ T cells in tissues of hypertensive mice, induce T cell proliferation in vitro, and prime hypertension after adoptive transfer. Finally, we find similar patterns of isoLG-adducted antigen restriction in class-I human leukocyte antigens as in murine analogues. Thus, we have used a combined computational and experimental approach to define likely antigenic peptides in hypertension.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
