Abstract excerpt
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules present antigenic peptides derived from engulfed exogenous proteins to CD4(+) T cells. Exogenous antigens are processed in mature endosomes and lysosomes where acidic proteases reside and peptide-binding to class II alleles is favoured. Hence, maintenance of the microenvironment within these organelles is probably central to efficient MHC class II-mediated...
