Abstract excerpt
The human Ag-processing-defective cell line 721.174, and its derivative T2, have a large homozygous deletion in the MHC class II region encompassing the TAP1 and TAP2 as well as the LMP2 and LMP7 genes. A similar, but smaller defect encompassing the TAP1 gene is observed in the 721.134 mutant cell line. With a few recent exceptions, these lines are unable to present endogenous Ag to class I-restricted CD8+ CTL....
