## Abstract MHC class II‐mediated antigen presentation by B lymphocytes or dendritic cells (DC) initiates CD4^+^ T lymphocyte activation. In B lymphocytes, MHC class II peptide presentation has been characterised by recruitment of MHC class II, F‐actin and lipid rafts to the B cell–T cell immunolog
Proteolysis of the invariant chain (li) leads to the generation of abundant MHC class II-associated invariant chain peptides (CLIP), which bind in the MHC class II binding groove via supermotifs in a manner similar to that of antigenic peptides. We have engineered an li vector with the capacity to e
