A Role for Naturally Occurring Alleles of Endoplasmic Reticulum Aminopeptidases in Tumor Immunity and Cancer Pre-Disposition
19 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 and 2 (ERAP1 and ERAP2) are key components on the pathway that generates antigenic epitopes for presentation to cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). Coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these enzymes have been associated with pre-disposition to several major human diseases including inflammatory diseases with autoimmune etiology, viral infections, and virally induced...
