Background
MHC Class II antigens are involved in antigen presentation by Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) to CD4+ T cells. They are constitutively expressed on APCs including B cells, macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells, and are inducible on a number of other cells (endothelium and epithelial cells) by interferon gamma. The Mouse H2 Ab locus is orthologous to human DQB, which varies from typical class II genes in that both the alpha and beta chains are polymorphic.Synonyms: H-2 class II histocompatibility antigen I-A beta chain, H2-Eb1
