Abstract excerpt
The MHC class II-associated invariant chain (Ii) is involved in Ag processing and presentation. Physical association of MHC class II molecules with Ii and an effect of Ii on peptide loading to class II have been demonstrated, but to date these functions have not been related to a particular region of Ii. We investigated luminal deletion mutants of Ii and their role in Ag processing and presentation....
