25
All nucleated cells express this type of MHC

HLA-DP, HLA-DQ, HLA-DR
46
MHC II isotypes that are intracellular and aid in the antigen presentation process
HLA-DM and -DO
47
MHC that presents antigen from intracellular/cytosolic sources
MHC I
48
MHC that presents antigen from extracellular sources
MHC II
49
Peptides for MHC I presentation are broken down in the cytosol by this
Proteasome
50
Peptides for MHC I presentation are broken down here by the proteasome
Cytosol
51
Transporter used to transport degraded antigen proteins from the cytoplasm into the ER
Transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)
52
4 chaperones that prevent antigen from binding to MHC I molecules in the ER
Calnexin, Calreticulin, Erp57, Tapasin
53
Chaperone that retains a partially folded state of MHC I

Peptide antigen
58
Component that is not complexed with the MHC I molecule prior to peptide loading
Beta 2-microglobulin
59
Beta 2 microglobulin is associated with this
MHC I
60
MHC I is not moved to the cell surface until this is loaded
Peptide
61
Enzyme that removes amino acids from the N-terminal end of peptides to improve their fit for the MHC I molecule "Peptide trimming"
Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP)
62
ER aminopeptidase (ERAP) is involved in this process
Peptide trimming for loading onto MHC I
63
Enzymes that are inactive until endosome acidifies, and then cleave antigen into peptide fragments for MHC II
Endosomal proteases
64
MHC II molecules are folded in this intracellular location
ER
65
Molecule that blocks that peptide-binding groove of MHC II and prevents cytoplasmic proteins in the ER from binding
Invariant chain (Ii)
66
The invariant chain blocks this
Peptide-binding groove on MHC II Prevents cytoplasmic proteins in the ER from binding
67
Short peptide fragment of the invariant chain that remains on MHC II until removal by HLA-DM
CLIP (class II invariant chain peptide)
68
CLIP is a short fragment of this, which remains on MHC II peptide binding groove
Invariant chain
69
Molecule that removes CLIP from MHC II, allowing internalized, degraded peptides to bind in the fused vesicle/acidified endosome
HLA-DM
70
Function of HLA-DM
Removes CLIP from MHC II (allows internalized degraded peptides to bind)
71
Beta 2 microglobulin is associated with what?
MHC I
72
Site of peptide loading of MHC I
ER
73
Site of peptide loading of MHC II
