MHC structure and function − antigen presentation. Part 2
The second part of this review deals with the molecules and processes involved in the processing and presentation of the antigenic fragments to the T-cell receptor. Though the nature of the antigens presented varies, the most significant class of antigens is proteins, processed within the cell to be then recognized in the form of peptides, a mechanism that confers an extraordinary degree of pre...
متن کاملMHC structure and function – antigen presentation. Part 1
The setting for the occurrence of an immune response is that of the need to cope with a vast array of different antigens from both pathogenic and non-pathogenic sources. When the first barriers against infection and innate defense fail, adaptive immune response enters the stage for recognition of the antigens by means of extremely variable molecules, namely immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors....
متن کاملAntigen Processing by Macroautophagy for MHC Presentation
T cells recognize antigen fragments, presented to them by MHC molecules. It lies in the interest of the immune system to display a maximal diversity of these peptides and utilize all catabolic processes to generate them. Macroautophagy, a pathway that delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation is no exception. In recent years, it has become apparent that macroautophagy assists ...
متن کاملAntigen Presentation by MHC-Dressed Cells
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. In addition to this canonical antigen presentation pathway, recent studies have revealed that DCs and non-APCs can acquire MHC class I (MHCI) and/or MHC class II (MHCII) from neighboring cells through a proc...
متن کاملAntigen processing for MHC presentation by autophagy
Autophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. This catabolic pathway can be used to deliver intracellular antigens for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II presentation. In addition, recent evidence suggests that it also facilitates the processing of extracellular antigens for both MHC class I and II presentation.
