title: Putting together an MHC class I molecule.
abstract: Formation of MHC class I complexes involves proper folding of the subunits, their assembly and interaction with peptides. Several proteins contributing to this process have been described, but a number of questions remain, in particular those concerning early folding steps and interactions with peptide in the course of biosynthesis.
