Inhibition of cell surface MHC class II expression by <i>Salmonella</i>

Abstract excerpt

Peptide presentation by MHC molecules is an essential component of the adaptive immune response. To persist in a host, many pathogens have evolved strategies that interfere with MHC antigen-presentation. We show that in human cells harboring intracellular Salmonella, MHC class II cell surface expression was substantially reduced. The effect was specific for MHC class II as expression of additional surface...
