Antigen-presentation of non-peptidic antigens lipid trafficking and loading [PDF]
T cells recognize a broad variety of antigens, including peptides, lipids and non-peptidic phosphorylated metabolites. Clarification of the rules rendering non-peptidic molecules immunogenic is essential to understand and to influence the reactions of ...

Microsomal membranes from antigen presenting cells present antigenic peptides to T cells: a novel approach in vaccine development. [PDF]
PhDThe study of the immune system has provided insight in the mechanism of protection induced by vaccination; primarily that most clinically protective vaccines are potent in generating neutralizing antibody responses.

Cytomegalovirus prevents antigen presentation by blocking the transport of peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex class I molecules into the medial-Golgi compartment [PDF]
Selective expression of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) immediate-early (IE) genes leads to the presentation by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule L a of a peptide derived from MCMV IE protein pp89 (Reddehase, M. J., J.

The MARCH family joins the antigen cross‐presentation party [PDF]
The membrane-associated RING-CH (MARCH) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases is thought to perform predominantly immunoregulatory functions by controlling the localization and abundance of a diverse array of immune receptors. However, the physiological substrates of the MARCHs remain elusive. In this issue of Immunology and Cell Biology, the group of Evelina

Antigen - presentation by vascular endothelium : its role for CTL - mediated vascular injury [PDF]
Background: EC express and present MHC class I restricted peptide antigens and due to the exposed position may be targeted by antigen-specific CTL. We wished to explore the type of vascular injury that is mediated by peptidespecific CTL in vivo when EC ...

The neonatal Fc receptor in cancer FcRn in cancer
Since the neonatal IgG Fc receptor (FcRn) was discovered, it was found to be involved in immunoglobulin recycling and biodistribution, immune complexes routing, antigen presentation, humoral immune response, and cancer immunosurveillance. The latest data

Endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In this study we have examined human vascular endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Vascular endothelial cells (EC) act as the major interface between blood and tissues and are crucial for the ...

Antigen presentation by MHC class I molecules, also referred to as cross-presentation, elicits cytotoxic immune responses. In particular, dendritic cells (DC) are the most proficient cross-presenting cells, since they have developed unique means to ...

Antigen cross-presentation: proteasome location, location, location. [PDF]
Our understanding of the mechanisms by which peptides from proteins present in phagosomes and endosomes are processed and presented on MHC class I molecules, in a pathway called cross-presentation, is still incomplete. One of the main questions arising from currently proposed models is how do proteins in the phagosome lumen reach the proteasome in the ...
