Meanings of invariant chain in English

The invariant chain (Ii) has pleiotropic functions and is a key factor in antigen presentation.

Release of invariant chain and peptide loading by class II molecules are facilitated by a second accessory protein, HLA-DM.

However, freshly isolated LC synthesize high levels class II MHC molecules and express higher amounts of the class II-associated invariant chain.

DR antigens and invariant chain were expressed in all patients, regardless of the diet, as well as in the control subjects.

One unusual feature of DQ2.5 is its high class-II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) content.

The murine class-II antigen-associated invariant chain (Ii) is a glycoprotein whose synthesis is co-regulated with the major histocompatibility class-II antigens.

Cells coexpressing DM with these DQ molecules were observed to express elevated levels of CLIP (Class II associated invariant chain peptide).
