MHC class II molecules are central to the adaptive immune response, serving as the means by which antigen-presenting cells, notably dendritic cells, display processed peptides to CD4+ T cells. This ...
Which came first, MHC class I or MHC class II? For decades, it has been debated which of these two similar classes came first in evolution. Now, Keiichiro Hashimoto and his group at Fujita Health ...
MHC-I presents peptides derived from endogenous antigens. Antigen is proteolyzed by the immune proteasome and specific peptides loaded to MHC-I. The resulting MHC-I–peptide complex is transported to ...
The study, according to the researchers, is the first to demonstrate the potential use of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) expression as a predictor of immunotherapy response in ...
