MHC class II molecules expressed by professional antigen presenting cells (pAPCs) such as macrophages, B cells and dendritic cells (DCs) play a fundamental role in presenting peptides to CD4+ T cells. However, to elicit CD4+-T cells immunity, pAPCs need an additional signal, which can be delivered b...
