Abstract excerpt
CD8+ T-cells recognize antigenic peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. These peptides bind to MHC class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. Antigenic peptides are translocated from the cytosol to the lumen of ER by transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP) proteins. In this study, it is shown that TAP1 polymorphism influences the peptide...
