Abstract excerpt
MHC class II molecules can exist in two conformations which can be distinguished on the basis of their stability in SDS. The formation of SDS-stable dimers has been shown to correlate with persistent expression of antigen MHC class II-peptide complexes by murine antigen-presenting cells. HLA DR molecules contain either a Val or a Gly at position 86 of the beta chain, which is located in a conserved and prominent...
