Overview
Peptide → MHC Class II (Antigen Presentation) is a bioactive peptide with well-characterized properties and therapeutic applications.
Mechanism of Action
Extracellular antigens endocytosed and processed in endosomes/lysosomes → peptides loaded onto MHC-II in MIIC compartment with help of HLA-DM (peptide editor) → peptide-MHC-II displayed on APC surface → recognized by CD4+ T helper cells. CLIP peptide blocks groove until exchange.
