The Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex Antigen Deficiency Syndrome: Consequences of Absent Class II Major Histocompatibility Antigens for Lymphocyte Differentiation and Function [PDF]
The class II major histocompatibility complex antigen deficiency syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency disease associated with defective expression of the class II antigens encoded for by the major histocompatibility complex. Clinically, this syndrome is manifest as a combined immunodeficiency presenting early in life, and affected individuals are ...

Distinct Intracellular Compartments Involved in Invariant Chain Degradation and Antigenic Peptide Loading of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class II Molecules [PDF]
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are transported to intracellular MHC class II compartments via a transient association with the invariant chain (Ii).

A Physical Map Including a New Class I Gene (cda12) of the Human Major Histocompatibility Complex (A2/313 Haplotype) Derived from a Monosomy 6 Mutant Cell Line [PDF]
To avoid interpretative problems due to restriction fragment length polymorphisms, the monosomy 6 mutant cell line BM19.7 was employed to establish a molecular map of the human major histocompatibility (HLA) complex in the A2,B13,Bw4,DRw6,DRw52,DQw1,DPw2

Impaired Intracellular Transport and Cell Surface Expression of Nonpolymorphic HLA-E [PDF]
The assembly of the classical, polymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum requires the presence of peptide ligands and ~2-microglobulin (~2m). Formation of this trimolecular complex is a prerequisite for e~

MHC-linked and un-linked class I genes in the wallaby [PDF]
Background: MHC class I antigens are encoded by a rapidly evolving gene family comprising classical and non-classical genes that are found in all vertebrates and involved in diverse immune functions.
