Abstract excerpt
The transporter associated with antigen-processing (TAP) proteins are required for the transport of cytosolic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum for assembly with class I major histocompatibility molecules. In the rat, allelic variants of the TAP genes impart specificity to the process of peptide transport. However, differential transport has yet to be demonstrated with the human molecules. TAP genes from...
