https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ipd/imgt/hla/alleles/allele/?accession=HLA00001 provides allele sequence data. For detailed protocols of expression, purification and use to visualize antigen-specific T cells, please refer to Altman and Davis (2016) Curr. Protoc. Immunol. doi.org/10.1002/cpim.14. We recommend the E. coli BL21(DE3) strain for expression.
