Wle limiting the expression of mhc class ii to so-called


While limiting the expression of MHC class II to so-called "professional" APCs partially ameliorates the problem of self non self recognition among CD4+ T cells, it remains difficult to understand how it is possible that even these cells' class II molecules are not deluged with processed "self" molecules (for example, albumin is present at extremely high quantities in the serum, so one might imagine that peptides from this alone would suffice to compete for any transiently present non-self proteins). What is/are the mechanisms that would afford enhanced processing or recognition of potentially dangerous molecules?
