Résumé

The MHC class II-associated invariant chain (Ii) is involved in Ag processing and presentation. Physical association of MHC class II molecules with Ii and an effect of Ii on peptide loading to class II have been demonstrated, but to date these functions have not been related to a particular region of Ii. We investigated luminal deletion mutants of Ii and their role in Ag processing and presentation. IAk-expressing L cells were transfected with deletion mutants of the Ii gene and assayed for their ability to present hen egg lysozyme to three different T cell hybridomas. It is shown that the sequence aa 131-191 of Ii is important for the presentation of native hen egg lysozyme. In addition, this C terminal region is shown to be responsible for Ii oligomer formation. It is therefore conceivable that oligomer formation of Ii is a prerequisite for class II-restricted Ag processing and presentation.
