Abstract excerpt
We find that expression of the membrane dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) enhances presentation of certain endogenously synthesized peptides to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes. ACE appears to function only in an intracellular secretory compartment of antigen-presenting cells. ACE-enhanced antigen presentation requires the expression...
