Abstract excerpt
Ag presentation by APC to class II MHC-restricted T cells involves a sequence of events: 1) intracellular processing of protein Ag into immunogenic peptides, 2) specific binding of peptides to class II MHC molecules, and then 3) transport of the MHC-peptide complexes to the plasma membrane. The critical event in the activation of T cells by APC is the recognition of MHC-associated antigenic determinants by the...
