Can MHC class II genes mediate resistance to type 1 diabetes?

abstract：:Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain/beta(2)m heterodimers assemble with antigenic peptides through interactions with peptide-loading complex proteins, including tapasin and ERp57. In human cells, a cysteine residue within tapasin (C95) has been shown to form a covalent bond with ERp57. In this s...
