A novel probe to assess cytosolic entry of exogenous proteins

The mechanism of protein dislocation into the cytosol during antigen cross-presentation is poorly understood. Here the authors engineer a dislocation reporter fusing a glycosylated luciferase variant to the Fc region of IgG1, and find that dislocation is the rate limiting step in cross-presentation.
