Antigen Presentation in the Lung
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 The lungs are constantly exposed to environmental and infectious agents such as dust, viruses, fungi, and bacteria that invade the lungs upon breathing. The lungs are equipped with an immune defense mechanism that involves a wide variety of immunological

Antigen Presenting Cells and Antigen Presentation in Tertiary Lymphoid Organs [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2016 Tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) form in territorialized niches of peripheral tissues characterised by the presence of antigens; however, little is known about mechanism(s) of antigen handling by ectopic lymphoid structures.

Antigen Cross-Presentation by Macrophages [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 The contribution of dendritic cell (DC) antigen cross-presentation to the activation of CD8+ T lymphocytes for immune defense against tumors, viruses, and intracellular pathogens has been recognized widely.

Antigen Presentation by Vascular Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Antigen presentation by cells of the vessel wall may initiate rapid and localized memory immune responses in peripheral tissues. Peptide antigens displayed on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of endothelial cells (ECs) can ...

Cancer Immune Evasion Through Loss of MHC Class I Antigen Presentation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Major histocompatibility class I (MHC I) molecules bind peptides derived from a cell's expressed genes and then transport and display this antigenic information on the cell surface.

Development of a novel assay for antigen presentation measurement [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAccurate measurement of antigen presentation is essential for understanding immune responses to infections and tumors. However, current methods are cumbersome, time-consuming, and rely on known peptide sequences and antibodies, leading to unstable ...

Antigen cross-presentation of immune complexes [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 The ability of dendritic cells (DC) to cross-present tumor antigens has long been a focus of interest of physicians, as well as basic scientists, that aim to establish efficient cell-based cancer immune therapy. A prerequisite for exploiting this pathway

The ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10 is not essential for MHC-I antigen presentation [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionThe presentation of pathogen-derived antigens on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I is crucial for the antiviral immune response. Degradation of intracellular pathogen-derived proteins by the 26S proteasome generates peptides that

Regulation of T cell expansion by antigen presentation dynamics [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 An essential feature of the adaptive immune system is the proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes during an immune reaction to form a large pool of effector cells.

CXCL16 knockout inhibit asthma airway inflammation by suppressing H2-DM molecular mediated antigen presentation [PDF]
Cell Death DiscoveryThe inflammatory microenvironment influences dendritic cell-mediated antigen presentation to regulate asthma Th2 inflammation. The scavenger receptor is expressed on DCs and regulates antigen presentation and T priming. However, whether the transmembrane
