Intracellular formation and cell surface expression of a complex of an intact lysosomal protein and MHC class II molecules.

Abstract excerpt

The generation of invariant chain-free MHC class II molecules and their association with endocytically generated peptides are thought to occur in specialized lysosome-like compartments called MIICs (MHC class II compartments). A number of in vitro studies have shown that large denatured proteins can bind to class II molecules, and that class II association can protect the bound segment of protein from proteolytic...
