Translating DRiPs: MHC class I immunosurveillance of pathogens and tumors.
MHC class I molecules display oligopeptides on the cell surface to enable T cell immunosurveillance of intracellular pathogens and tumors. Speed is of the essence in detecting viruses, which can complete a full replication cycle in just hours, whereas tumor detection is typically a finding-the-needle-in-the-haystack exercise. We review current evidence supporting a nonrandom, compartmentalized ...
متن کاملMHC class I multimers
T lymphocytes play a key role in the immune response to both foreign and self peptide antigens, which they recognize in combination with MHC molecules. In the past it has been difficult to analyse objectively the specificity, frequency and intensity of T cell responses. The recent application of fluorescent-labelled MHC class I multimers, however, has provided a powerful experimental approach t...
متن کاملAt the crossroads of cell biology and immunology: DRiPs and other sources of peptide ligands for MHC class I molecules.
CD8(+) T cells are a critical element of vertebrate immune responses to viruses and other intracellular parasites. They roam the body, monitoring cells for the presence of foreign peptides associated with MHC class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Although it is clear that most of these peptides are generated through the action of proteasomes, the nature of the substra...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus and Cancer - Immunological Consequences of MHC Class I Down-Regulation
Few studies have been conducted on the causative factors associated with the development of cancer. Infection by high risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been implicated as causative agents in a variety of cancers. HPV is capable of evading immune system and establishing persistent infections. Prolonged infection and lesion maintenance are associated with higher risk of neoplastic progressi...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class I and MHC Class II Proteins: Conformational Plasticity in Antigen Presentation
Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins is essential for adaptive immunity. Prior to presentation, peptides need to be generated from proteins that are either produced by the cell's own translational machinery or that are funneled into the endo-lysosomal vesicular system. The prolonged interaction between a T cell receptor and specific pMHC complexes, after an ex...
