Figure 4.

Steady-state distribution of MHC class II molecules after fractionation of wt and CatS−/−DC on a 27% Percoll gradient. DC were continuously labeled for 5 h, homogenized, and PNS were fractionated over a 27% Percoll gradient. 1-ml fractions were collected from the bottom of the tube and analyzed by immunoprecipitation, followed by boiling of the samples, 12.5% SDS-PAGE, and autoradiography. (A) Immunoprecipitation for MHC class II dimers from DC from wt and CatS−/− mice, using the N22 antibody (α/β: MHC class II α/β chain; Ii: invariant chain; p22, p18, p10: breakdown intermediates of Ii of the estimated molecular weight indicated). (B) Same subcellular fractions immunoprecipitated for MHC class I with the p8 antiserum (top and middle panels) (HC, class I heavy chain; β2m, β-2 microglobulin). (Lower panel) Identical experiment performed with DC from Ii−/− mice and immunoprecipitated with N22.
