Stoichiometry of HLA class II-invariant chain oligomers.
BACKGROUND: The HLA gene complex encodes three class II isotypes, DR, DQ, and DP. HLA class II molecules are peptide receptors that present antigens for recognition by T lymphocytes. In antigen presenting cells, the assembly of matched α and β subunits to heterodimers is chaperoned by invariant chai...
