Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2 contribute to generate HLA class I binding peptides. Recently, we have shown that the expression of these enzymes is high and coordinated (with each other and with HLA class I molecules) in immortalized B cells, but variable and imbalanced in human tumour cell lines of various non-lymphoid lineages. Herein, this issue was investigated in vivo by...
