There are many anti-MHC antibodies that recognize MHC complexed with
peptide.

Or do you mean to ask whether there are antibodies against *specific*
peptides bound to *specific* MHC molecules?  Well, no, there are none of
those.  There are a few antibodies which recognize portions of the alpha
helices plus an amino acid or two of the peptide, but that's as specific
as they get.
