Abstract excerpt
The recent solutions of the MHC class II crystal structure reveal dimerization of the alphabeta heterodimers. These dimer of dimers structures may also exist either on resting cells or after engagement by TCR, and may be involved in B cell signaling and up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules such as B7 which facilitate T cell activation. By combining crystallographic data on HLA-DR1 with the sequence of murine...
