Accessory molecules, such as HLA-DM and invariant chain, modulate the ligands bound to MHC class II molecules in antigen-presenting cells. Recent investigations, including gene targeting experiments, have shed light on the functions of these molecules, their mechanisms of action, interactions with c
he allele-specific peptidebinding motifs of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins, originally discovered by pool sequencing of MHC class I-bound peptides 1 , provide a biochemical basis for the phenomenon of MHC restriction of T-cell responses. However, the analysis of class II peptide mot
Particularly prominent during the past year was the analysis of the subcellular compartment in which MHC class II molecules are located. Some investigators also analyzed the site where peptides are generated for MHC class II binding. Studies of invariant chain were particularly important in trying t
