Abstract excerpt
We and others have shown that the products of the HLA-DM locus are required for the intracellular assembly of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules with cognate peptides for antigen presentation. HLA-DM heterodimers mediate the dissociation of invariant chain (Ii)-derived class II-associated Ii peptides (CLIP) from class II molecules and facilitate the loading of class II molecules with antigenic...
