In immature dendritic cells (DCs), major histocompatibility complex class II molecules accumulate in peptide-loading compartments and, during DC maturation, are exported to the cell surface in response to inflammatory stimuli. Moreover, it has recently been proposed that DCs have specific mechanisms of antigen uptake and delivery into major histocompatibility complex class II-loading compartments. B cells bearing a genetically disrupted invariant chain gene (Ii -/-) show alterations in the transport and function of class II molecules. We herein report that DCs derived from Ii -/- H2(k) but not Ii -/- H2(b) mice undergo normal maturation in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha and show a high degree of class II surface expression. Class II molecules are accumulated in cathepsin D- and H2-M-positive compartments in immature Ii -/- DC and, during DC maturation, are exported to the cell membrane as compact dimers. Ii -/- DCs present putative Ii-dependent hen egg lysozyme-derived epitopes to T cells. These data support the existence of Ii-independent molecular requirements for class II transport and peptide loading in DCs.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
