MHC II presents '''exogenous''' (Extracellular fluid - ECF) peptides. Endocytosed antigen interacts with MHC II in the cytoplasm to form a complex:
 
*Antigen is endoycotsed from the ECF
 
*Antigen is endoycotsed from the ECF
 
*Lysosomes fuse with primary endosomes to digest the antigen to peptides
