CCR7
expressed by mature (activated) DCs, (ligand for MIP 3 beta)
expressed abundantly in the thymus and LN, brings activated DC’s and
activated B cells back to the LN, thought to be a receptor for bringing
memory T cells back to the LN
Invariant chain
binds with MHCII, blocks binding with peptides and misfolded peptides (no self binding)
CLIP
fragment of II cleaved in acidic endosome, bound to the MHC II binding groove
HLA-DM
binds to MHC II, releases CLIP, allowing other peptides to bind, MHC II then travels to the cell surface
