Apoptotic Cells Deliver Processed Antigen to Dendritic Cells for Cross-Presentation

<p>Antigen derived from engulfed apoptotic cells can be cross-presented by dendritic cells (DCs) for the generation of major histocompatibility class I/peptide complexes. While the early events of recognition and internalization of the dying cell have been characterized, the antigen-processing...
