Sorting of MHC class II molecules into exosomes through a ubiquitin-independent pathway.

Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules accumulate in exocytic vesicles, called exosomes, which are secreted by antigen presenting cells. These vesicles are released following the fusion of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with the plasma membrane. The molecular mechanisms regulating cargo selection remain to be fully characterized.
