Abstract
Invariant chain (Ii) binds to the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecule and assists it in the process of peptide acquisition. In addition, Ii binds to the HLA class I molecule, although there has been little study of its effects on the HLA class I molecule. In addition to its normal expression on antigen-presenting cells, Ii expression is up regulated in a variety of tumors. By flow cytometric analysis, we found that expression of Ii resulted in an increase in the number of cell surface HLA class I molecules and in the proportion of unstable HLA class I molecules at the surface of breast tumor cell lines. These data suggest that the expression of Ii by tumor cells may quantitatively and qualitatively alter the presentation of antigens on those cells.
