摘要: For most nascent glycoprotein Ags, the MHC class I-restricted processing pathway begins in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). From this location, they are translocated to cytosol for degradation by proteasome. A reasonable assumption is that of exocytic Ags less efficient than cytosolic due requirement additional handling, but pathways two types proteins otherwise similar. To test this, we compared presentation three epitopes within influenza nucleoprotein (NP) when Ag targeted or ER. Surprisingly, under conditions limited expression, proteasome-dependent comparable NP ER while a third negatively impacted. Furthermore, epitope unaffected addition proteasome inhibitor expressed significantly enhanced expressed. These results indicate delivery need not preclude and ER-targeted qualitatively distinct.
