Canonical and Non-Canonical Functions of the Autophagy Machinery in MHC Restricted Antigen Presentation
4 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. Since major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules sample peptides after lysosomal degradation for presentation to CD4 + T cells, it was originally described that these peptides can also originate from macroautophagy substrates. In recent years it has become clear that in addition to this canonical function of the...
