Abstract excerpt
The presentation of antigenic peptides by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II to CD4+ T cells is crucial to initiate immune responses. We developed a new system for delivery of an antigenic peptide to the MHC class II pathway, using the invariant chain (Ii). We designed a mutated human p33-form Ii, CLIP-substituted Ii, in which streptococcal M12p55-68 (RDLEQAYNELSGEA) was substituted for CLIP (class...
