## Abstract Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II molecules present antigenic fragments to the immune system. MHC‐like chaperones, like HLA‐DM, HLA‐DO and tapasin support peptide loading. HLA class I heavy chains require association with β2‐microglobulin and peptide for endoplasmic

Mice lacking beta2-microglobulin (beta2m- mice) express greatly reduced levels of MHC class I molecules, and cells from beta2m- mice are therefore highly sensitive to NK cells. However, NK cells from beta2m- mice fail to kill beta2m- normal cells, showing that they are self tolerant. In a first atte
