Antigen 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...
