Abstract excerpt
Distinct combinations of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alpha and beta chains show widely varying efficiencies of cell surface expression in transfected cells. Previous studies have analyzed the regions of the class II chains that are critically involved in this phenomenon of variable expression and have shown a predominant effect of the NH2-terminal domains comprising the peptide-binding site....
