PG - 297-314 LID - 10.1007/978-1-4939-9450-2_22 [doi] AB - MHC class II molecules play a pivotal role for the induction and maintenance of immune responses against pathogens, but are also implicated in pathological conditions like autoimmune diseases or rejection of transplanted organs. Human antigen-presenting cells express three human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II isotypes (DR, DP, and DQ), which are, with the exception of DRalpha, composed of highly polymorphic alpha and beta subunits. The combination of alpha- and beta-chains results in a multitude of MHC-II alphabeta-heterodimers of the same isotype, but also isotype-mixed MHC class II molecules have been identified. Invariant chain chaperones the assembly of MHC-II molecules within the endoplasmatic reticulum and also facilitates the intracellular transport to MHC class II loading compartments (MIICs). MHC-II molecules are loaded with antigenic peptides and shuttled to the cell surface for inspection by CD4 T-cells. Alternatively, class-II molecules enriched on intraluminal vesicles can be released via exosomes into the extracellular space. Since some of the alphabeta-combinations may yield mismatched nonfunctional heterodimers, it is not entirely clear which type of HLA class II peptide receptors are transported to MIICs and found on the cell surface of antigen-presenting cells. We present techniques to inspect assembly, intracellular transport, cell surface expression, and exosomal release of MHC class II heterodimers.
