Structural Comparison Between MHC Classes I and II; in Evolution, a Class-II-Like Molecule Probably Came First

Structural Comparison Between MHC Classes I and II; in Evolution, a Class-II-Like Molecule Probably Came First

Structures of peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex class I (pMHC-I) and class II (pMHC-II) complexes are similar. However, whereas pMHC-II complexes include similar-sized IIα and IIβ chains, pMHC-I complexes include a heavy chain (HC) and a single domain molecule β2-microglobulin (β2-m)....
