Structure/Function Studies of Antigen Processing and Presentation The intricate process of antigen processing and presentation is fundamental to the immune response, enabling the recognition of a vast array of pathogens by T cells. This Read More
Antigen Presenting Cells Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) play a crucial role in the immune system, bridging innate and adaptive immunity. They are responsible for capturing, processing, and presenting antigens to T cells, thus enabling the body Read More
Intracellular Events in Antigen Processing Antigen processing is a vital step in the immune system’s ability to recognize and respond to pathogens. It involves the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides that can interact Read More
Antigen cross-presentation Antigen cross-presentation is a critical immunological process that allows exogenous antigens, typically presented via MHC class II to CD4+ T cells, to be presented on MHC class I molecules for recognition by CD8+ Read More
MHC Assembly and Trafficking The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a critical component of the immune system, essential for the recognition of foreign molecules and the subsequent immune response. MHC molecules are categorized into two Read More
