Inhibition of MHC Class I Is a Virulence Factor in Herpes Simplex Virus Infection of Mice
28 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) has a number of genes devoted to immune evasion. One such gene, ICP47, binds to the transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP) 1/2 thereby preventing transport of viral peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum, loading of peptides onto nascent major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, and presentation of peptides to CD8 T cells.
