Résumé
Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) is the most significant genetic risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the nature of the self-antigens that trigger autoimmunity remains unclear. Unusual self-antigens, termed neoself-antigens, are presented on MHC-II in the absence of the invariant chain essential for peptide presentation. Here, we demonstrate that neoself-antigens are the primary target for autoreactive T cells clonally expanded in SLE. When neoself-antigen presentation was induced by deleting the invariant chain in adult mice, neoself-reactive T cells were clonally expanded, leading to the development of lupus-like disease. Furthermore, we found that neoself-reactive CD4
