MHC class II (I-A/I-E) Small Molecules and Peptides

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II is a heterodimeric transmembrane protein that is expressed on antigen-presenting cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. Mouse MHC class II is expressed as multiple isotypes encoded by four genes located in the mouse MHC. MHC class II alpha and beta subunits are assembled into heterodimers in the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are complexed to an invariant chain (Ii). Following synthesis, MHC class II is further processed in ...
