Cross-Presentation of the Long-Lived Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Nucleoprotein Does Not Require Neosynthesis and Is Enhanced via Heat Shock Proteins
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Many viral proteins that contain MHC class I-restricted peptides are long-lived, and it is elusive how they can give rise to class I epitopes. Recently, we showed that direct presentation of an epitope of the long-lived lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus nucleoprotein (LCMV-NP) required neosynthesis in accordance with the defective ribosomal products hypothesis. In this study, we report that LCMV-NP can be...
