The role of tapasin in MHC class 1 antigen presentation
2004-01-01
Abstract excerpt
MHC class I molecules are heterotrimeric complexes of a polymorphic MHC class I heavy chain, beta-2 microglobulin (β<sub>2</sub> M) and a short peptide. These complexes present self and foreign peptides to host effector cells. This allows for monitoring of the internal milieu of cells through representation of the protein breakdown products (peptides) within MHC class I complexes at the cell surface. This thesis e...
