Abstract
⺠DM and MHCII molecules form stable complexes in the absence of peptide. ⺠Peptide binding induces dissociation of DM from MHCII. ⺠MHCII molecules with fully bound peptides do not interact with DM. ⺠Dissociation of the peptide N-terminus from the MHC groove is required for DM binding. ⺠Key principles of peptide loading are similar between MHC class I and II molecules.
