Abstract excerpt
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I binding peptides are carried from cytosol to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), an integral ER membrane protein composed of two subunits, TAP1 and TAP2. Polymorphism in TAP genes may influence these proteins further affecting the antigen peptide presentation, indirectly resulting in the viral escape...
