Abstract excerpt
Peptide assembly with class I molecules is orchestrated by multiple chaperones including tapasin, which bridges class I molecules with the TAP and is critical for efficient Ag presentation. In this paper, we show that, although constitutive levels of endogenous murine tapasin apparently are sufficient to form stable and long-lived complexes between the human HLA-B*4402 (B*4402) and mouse TAP proteins, this does...
