Abstract excerpt
Current ideas about DM actions have been strongly influenced by studies of mutant strains expressing the H-2(b) haplotype. To evaluate DM contributions to class II activities in BALB/c mice, we generated a novel mutation at the DMa locus via embryonic stem cell technology. Unlike long-lived A(b)/class II-associated invariant chain-derived peptide (CLIP) complexes, mature A(d) and E(d) molecules are loosely...
