Antigen Cross-Presentation by Macrophages
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.

Immunological responses and actin dynamics in macrophages are controlled by N-cofilin but are independent from ADF. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Dynamic changes in the actin cytoskeleton are essential for immune cell function and a number of immune deficiencies have been linked to mutations, which disturb the actin cytoskeleton.

The role of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase in MHC class I antigen presentation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Production of MHC I ligands from antigenic proteins generally requires multiple proteolytic events. While the proteolytic steps required for antigen processing in the endogenous pathway are clearly established, persisting gaps of knowledge regarding ...

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

Sec61 blockade by mycolactone inhibits antigen cross-presentation independently of endosome-to-cytosol export [PDF]
, 2017 Although antigen cross-presentation in dendritic cells (DCs) is critical to the initiation of most cytotoxic immune responses, the intracellular mechanisms and traffic pathways involved are still unclear.

Antigen Presentation by Vascular Cells
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 ...

Antigen presentation between T cells drives Th17 polarization under conditions of limiting antigen [PDF]
, 2021 T cells form immunological synapses with professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) resulting in T cell activation and the acquisition of peptide antigen-MHC (pMHC) complexes from the plasma membrane of the APC. They thus become APCs themselves.
