Abstract excerpt
PA28 is an IFN-gamma-inducible proteasome activator and its genetic ablation causes complete loss of processing of certain Ags, but not all of them. The reason why this occurs and how PA28 influences the formation of peptide repertoires for MHC class I molecules remains unknown. In this study, we show the allele-specific role of PA28 in Ag processing. Retrovirus-transduced overexpression of PA28alpha decreased...
