Abstract excerpt
Class II presentation mutants have mutations in the HLA-DMA or B genes and are defective in the presentation of whole exogenous Ags restricted by HLA-DR, -DQ, and -DP. The functional defect in Ag presentation is accompanied by an altered conformation of cell surface class II molecules and instabi...
