Abstract excerpt
Ag processing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by the ER aminopeptidase associated with Ag processing (ERAAP) is central to presentation of a normal peptide-MHC class I (MHC I) repertoire. Alternations in ERAAP function cause dramatic changes in the MHC I-presented peptides, which elicit potent immune responses. An unusual subset of CD8+ T cells monitor normal Ag processing by responding to a highly conserved...
