Abstract excerpt
MHC class I molecules are cell surface glycoproteins that play a pivotal role in the response to intracellular pathogens. The loading of MHC class I molecules with antigenic substrates takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum. This requires a functional TAP transporter, which translocates peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum from the cytosol. The generation of antigenic peptides from polypeptide precursors is...
