Antigen Processing for MHC Class II Presentation via Autophagy
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
T cells recognize proteolytic fragments of antigens that are presented to them on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. MHC class I molecules present primarily products of proteasomal proteolysis to CD8(+) T cells, while MHC class II molecules display mainly degradation products of lysosomes for stimulation of CD4(+) T cells. Macroautophagy delivers intracellular proteins to lysosomal degradation, and...
