Development of a model system to investigate the effects of haptenation on antigen processing

The objective of this study was to determine whether the haptenation of protein changes qualitatively the peptides produced by antigen processing. This hypothesis suggests that T cells will have no self-tolerance to neo-epitopes exposed by haptenation. Any T cell recognising such an epitope may ther...
