Abstract excerpt
Several years ago, the only factor known to be necessary for the assembly and surface expression of class I MHC was beta 2m; even for beta 2m, it was unclear at what point in class I maturation its role was played. Recent experiments that employed attachment of an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention signal to beta 2m have shown that the point of time at which beta 2m is required is while the class I heavy chain...
