Abstract excerpt
The role of endosomes in antigen processing was investigated with mutant cells, expressing a temperature-sensitive defect in endosomal acidification, as a source of antigen-presenting cells for CD4+ T cell responses. When the mutants were incubated at the nonpermissive temperature, their ability to process a variety of native antigens was greatly impaired. These cells could present peptide fragments normally, and...
