Abstract excerpt
The class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) region of invariant chain (Ii) is believed to play a critical role in the assembly and transport of MHC class II alphabetaIi complexes through its interaction with the class II peptide-binding site. The role of the CLIP sequence was investigated by using mutant Ii molecules with altered affinity for the DR1 peptide-binding site. Both high- and low-affinity...
