Document Summary

Protein antigens may be processed (degraded into peptides) either in endosomes or in the cytosol. Endosomal processing results in presentation on class ii mhc molecules (for exogenous antigens that are phagocytosed into endosomes) Cytosolic processing results in presentation on class i mhc molecules (for endogenous or cytosolic antigens) Peptide mhc class i pathway: antigen degraded by proteasome. Peptides loaded to mhc i which are synthesised in er-->golgi-->pm. Peptide-mhc class ii pathway (apcs): antigen endocytosed-->degraded in endosome. Invariant (li) chains assembles with mhcii which blocks peptide binding site of mhc ii. This protects peptide binding cleft from cytosolic peptides. Invariant chain removed when vesicle merges with endosome. There is a possibility of cross presentation where exogenous antigens bind to mhc i. Antigen processing and presentation leads to peptides associated with the. T cells activation: when their tcr binds peptide antigens displayed on mhc molecules. The plus means positive (i. e. it is expressed)
