The MHC class II molecules have been recognized as signaling receptors for more than a decade, and recent work has revealed the importance of their signaling for the immune response. Today, we know that the function of MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is not limited to their

## Abstract SSX2 is a member of the family of cancer/testis antigens. The SSX2 derived peptide SSX2~103β111~ has been shown to be presented to cytotoxic Tβlymphocytes (CTL) by MajorβHistocompatibility (MHC) ClassβI complexes after endogenous processing, more precisely by the allele HLAβA\*0201. The
It has been shown that exogenous antigens can access the MHC class I pathway of professional antigen-processing cells. However, details as to how the MHC class I-peptide complex forms in the presentation pathway are still poorly understood. Here we used MHC class I-peptide-specific antibodies to inv
