1. Antigen-processing pathways
Antigen-processing pathways. The intracellular antigen-processing pathways for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, MHC class II, and CD1 presentation are shown. The MHC class I pathway involves the processing of cytoplasmic proteins, whereas the MHC class II pathway involves the processing of exogenous proteins. The CD1 pathway regulates the processing and presentation of self-glycosphingolipids and bacterial lipoglycans. DN T cell = double-negative (CD4−/CD8−) T cell; ER = endoplasmic reticulum; MIIC = MHC class II lysosomal peptide-loading compartment; NKT cell = natural killer T cell; TAP = transporter associated with antigen processing; TCR = T-cell receptor.
