Abstract In humans, increased susceptibility to specific autoimmune diseases is closely associated with specific HLA-class II alleles. CD4(+) T cells that recognize short self-peptides in the context of HLA-class II molecules via their T cell receptor (TCR) are considered...

Tumor immune escape in acute myeloid leukemia: Class II-associated invariant chain peptide expression as result of deficient antigen presentation.

Oncoimmunology

van Luijn MM, Chamuleau ME, Ossenkoppele GJ, van de Loosdrecht AA, Marieke van Ham S.
PMID: 22720245
Oncoimmunology. 2012 Mar 01;1(2):211-213. doi: 10.4161/onci.1.2.18100.

In this overview, we discuss the role of class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), one of the few tumors expressing HLA class II. The clinical impact, function and regulation of CLIP expression on leukemic...

Fusion to the Lysosome Targeting Signal of the Invariant Chain Alters the Processing and Enhances the Immunogenicity of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase.

Intracellular processing of the antigen encoded by a DNA vaccine is one of the key steps in generating an immune response. Immunization with DNA constructs targeted to the endosomal-lysosomal compartments and to the MHC class II pathway can elicit...

Antigen-delivery through invariant chain (CD74) boosts CD8 and CD4 T cell immunity.

Eradication of tumors by the immune system relies on the efficient activation of a T-cell response. For many years, the main focus of cancer immunotherapy has been on cytotoxic CD8 T-cell. However, stimulation of CD4 helper T cells is...

Invariant Chain Complexes and Clusters as Platforms for MIF Signaling.

Cells

Cells. 2017 Feb 10;6(1). doi: 10.3390/cells6010006.

Invariant chain (Ii/CD74) has been identified as a surface receptor for migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Most cells that express Ii also synthesize major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) molecules, which depend on Ii as a chaperone and a...

The MHC-II antigen presentation machinery and B7 checkpoint ligands display distinctive patterns correlated with acute myeloid leukaemias blast cells HLA-DR expression.

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a neoplasia characterised by rapid proliferation and an increased rate of relapses. The AML blasts display features of antigen-presenting cells (APC), and thus can directly modulate the anti-tumour T cell responses. The bone marrow...

Exposing the Specific Roles of the Invariant Chain Isoforms in Shaping the MHC Class II Peptidome.

Frontiers in immunology

Fortin JS, Cloutier M, Thibodeau J.
PMID: 24379812
Front Immunol. 2013 Dec 13;4:443. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2013.00443.

The peptide repertoire (peptidome) associated with MHC class II molecules (MHCIIs) is influenced by the polymorphic nature of the peptide binding groove but also by cell-intrinsic factors. The invariant chain (Ii) chaperones MHCIIs, affecting their folding and trafficking. Recent...

HLA dependent immune escape mechanisms in B-cell lymphomas: Implications for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy?.

Antigen presentation by tumor cells in the context of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) is generally considered to be a prerequisite for effective immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We evaluated cell surface HLA class I, HLA class II and cytoplasmic HLA-DM...

Class II-associated invariant chain peptide as predictive immune marker in minimal residual disease in acute myeloid leukemia.

The majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) reach complete remission after high-dose chemotherapy. Still, half of these patients experience a relapse due to presence of minimal residual disease (MRD). Here we discuss the poor prognostic role of...

Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are causative for cervical neoplasia and carcinomas. Despite the availability of prophylactic vaccines, morbidity and mortality induced by HPV are still too high. Thus, an efficient therapy, such as a therapeutic vaccine, is urgently...
