Response to “H1N1 hemagglutinin-specific HLA-DQ6-restricted CD4+ T cells can be readily detected in narcolepsy type 1 patients and healthy controls”

We read with great interest the publication by Schinkelshoek et al. (Schinkelshoek et al., 2019) reporting on T cell reactivity to Hemagglutinin pHA275 –287 and Hypocretin/orexin HCRT56–68 and HCRT87–99 peptides. The authors failed to discuss a publication by Luo et al. published a day after submission of their own publication (Luo et al., 2018a). This same work had been published in BioRxiv (Luo et al., 2018b) together with an informative Ge nome Wide Association (GWAS) paper in 5500 narcolepsy subjects (Ollila et al., 2018), and discussed in Liblau et al.
