Antigen Cross-Presentation by Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Immunogens and Antigen Processing: Report from a Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise Working Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise convened a meeting of a Working Group in July 2009 to discuss recent progress in rational design of the components of an HIV vaccine, such as inserts, vectors and adjuvants,and in understanding antigen processing and ...

Transmembrane Helices Are an Overlooked Source of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Epitopes

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
About a fourth of the human proteome is anchored by transmembrane helices (TMHs) to lipid membranes. TMHs require multiple hydrophobic residues for spanning membranes, and this shows a striking resemblance with the requirements for peptide binding to ...

Vaccine delivery by penetratin: mechanism of antigen presentation by dendritic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPP) or membrane-translocating peptides such as penetratin from Antennapedia homeodomain or TAT from human immunodeficiency virus are useful vectors for the delivery of protein antigens or their cytotoxic (Tc) or helper (Th) T ...

Efficient Capsid Antigen Presentation From Adeno-Associated Virus Empty Virions In Vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been successfully applied in clinical trials for hemophilic patients. Although promising, the clinical results suggest that the capsid-specific CD8+T cell response has a negative effect on therapeutic success. In

Endo-lysosomal assembly variations among human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA class I) allotypes

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The extreme polymorphisms of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA class I) proteins enable the presentation of diverse peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

Antigen presentation by MHC-dressed cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
Professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as conventional dendritic cells (DCs) process protein antigens to MHC-bound peptides and then present the peptide-MHC complexes to T cells.

Regulation of T cell expansion by antigen presentation dynamics

open access: yes, 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.

Definition of Naturally Processed Peptides Reveals Convergent Presentation of Autoantigenic Topoisomerase I Epitopes in Scleroderma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
ObjectiveAutoimmune responses to DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) are found in a subset of scleroderma patients who are at high risk for interstitial lung disease (ILD) and mortality.

Antigen Presentation by Vascular Cells

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
