The presentation of antigenic peptides by MHC class II molecules is essential for activation of CD4+ T cells. The formation of most peptide-MHC-class-II complexes is influenced by the actions of two specialized accessory proteins--DM and DO--located in the endosomal/lysosomal system where peptide lo
Loading of classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules with antigen-derived peptides is fast, efficient and highly selective in vivo, quite in contrast to in vitro findings with isolated class II proteins and synthetic peptides. Do accessory proteins speed up the loading proc
