Cellular studies on antigen presentation by class II MHC molecules

Curr Opin Immunol. 1992 Feb;4(1):63-9. doi: 10.1016/0952-7915(92)90127-z.

Abstract

Particularly prominent during the past year was the analysis of the subcellular compartment in which MHC class II molecules are located. Some investigators also analyzed the site where peptides are generated for MHC class II binding. Studies of invariant chain were particularly important in trying to establish the functional significance of this molecule.
