Abstract excerpt
Experiments with mutant cell lines have underscored the role for peptide in maintenance of the structure of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I molecules. The class-I molecules act as receptors for antigenic and "self" peptides derived from degraded intracellular synthesized proteins. The class-I/peptide trimeric complex is transported to the cell surface where it is scrutinized by cytotoxic T...
