Beschreibung:
Professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) have a distinct compartment in which class II molecules are proposed to acquire antigenic peptides. Genetic evidence suggests that human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DM, an unusual class II molecule, participates in this process. Peptide acquisition was reconstituted in nonprofessional APCs by transfection of class II, invariant chain (li), and H-2M, the murine equivalent of DM. The H-2M heterodimer appeared in an endosomal compartment, not at the cell surface, and the localization was independent of li. The data presented show that H-2M, class II, and li are the minimally required components for efficient formation of stable class II-peptide complexes, and thus for a functional class II compartment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Karlsson, L -- Peleraux, A -- Lindstedt, R -- Liljedahl, M -- Peterson, P A -- AI-26610/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 2;266(5190):1569-73.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉R.
