Abstract excerpt
Ag processing and presentation via MHC class II is essential for activation of CD4(+) T lymphocytes. gamma-IFN-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (GILT) is present in the MHC class II loading compartment and has been shown to facilitate class II Ag processing and recall responses to Ags containing disulfide bonds such as hen egg lysozyme (HEL). Reduction of proteins within the MHC class II loading compartment is...
