  1. A guide to antigen processing and presentation

    Abstract. Antigen processing and presentation are the cornerstones of adaptive immunity. B cells cannot generate high-affinity antibodies without T cell help. CD4 + T cells, which provide such ...

  2. Antigen presentation

    Antigen presentation is a vital immune process that is essential for T cell immune response triggering. ... Predicting which (fragments of) antigens will be presented to the immune system by a certain MHC/HLA type is difficult, but the technology involved is improving. [4] Presentation of intracellular antigens: Class I

  3. Antigen Processing and Presentation

    Antigen Processing and Presentation. In order to be capable of engaging the key elements of adaptive immunity (specificity, memory, diversity, self/nonself discrimination), antigens have to be processed and presented to immune cells. Antigen presentation is mediated by MHC class I molecules, and the class II molecules found on the surface of ...

  4. 20.3E: Antigen-Presenting Cells

    Antigen presentation broadly consists of pathogen recognition, phagocytosis of the pathogen or its molecular components, processing of the antigen, and then presentation of the antigen to naive (mature but not yet activated) T cells. The ability of the adaptive immune system to fight off pathogens and end an infection depends on antigen ...

  5. Antigen Processing and Presentation

    Antigen Presentation. The antigen presented on MHCs is recognised by T cells using a T cell receptor (TCR). These are antigen-specific. T Cell Receptors. Each T cell has thousands of TCRs, each with a unique specificity that collectively allows our immune system to recognise a wide array of antigens.

  6. Antigen Presentation

    Antigen presentation is the mechanism by which the antigenic environment is sampled and information imparted to the effector arms of the adaptive immune system, B and T lymphocytes. Depending on the precise context, antigen presentation can result in either activation or tolerization of lymphocytes, respective examples being the response to a ...

  7. Towards a systems understanding of MHC class I and MHC class II antigen

    Various new findings from the area of cell biology have consequences for MHC class I and MHC class II antigen presentation. The immune system is a relatively late addition in our progress through ...

  8. Antigen presentation in cancer

    Antigen processing and presentation enable the adaptive immune system to survey the host cell proteome and detect pathogens and mutations 36,37. MHC I and MHC II are the two predominant MHCs ...

  9. Role of the antigen presentation process in the immunization mechanism

    The immune system recognizes the exogenous antigen, initiates the inflammatory response and the subsequent steps leading to the production of specific antibodies by the B cells. 2 In human cells, the antigen presentation process is performed by the MHC I and II, and this mechanism is essential for the cell‐mediated immunity. 3 The MHC I is a ...

  10. Antigen-Presenting Cells

    The innate immune system contains cells that detect potentially harmful antigens, and then inform the adaptive immune response about the presence of these antigens. An antigen-presenting cell (APC) is an immune cell that detects, engulfs, and informs the adaptive immune response about an infection. When a pathogen is detected, these APCs will ...

  11. Antigen-presenting cell

    Antigen presentation allows for specificity of adaptive immunity and can contribute to immune responses against both intracellular and extracellular pathogens. It is also involved in defense against tumors. Some cancer therapies involve the creation of artificial APCs to prime the adaptive immune system to target malignant cells.

  12. Antigen Presentation

    Antigen presentation is the mechanism by which the antigenic environment is sampled and information imparted to the effector arms of the adaptive immune system, B and T lymphocytes. Depending on the precise context, antigen presentation can result in either activation or tolerization of lymphocytes, respective examples are the response to a ...

  13. CD1 antigen presentation: how it works

    However, the discovery of MHC-class-I-like CD1 antigen-presentation molecules now explains how the immune system also recognizes the abundant and diverse universe of lipid-containing antigens. The CD1 molecules bind and present amphipathic lipid antigens for recognition by T-cell receptors. Here, we outline the recent advances in our ...

  14. Antigen Presentation

    Antigen presentation is a process allowing presentation at the cell surface of peptides reflecting the current state of the cell for recognition by the immune system. These peptides may be presented on major histocompatibility class I (MHC I) molecules by all nucleated cells to CD8 + T lymphocytes, 1 or by the MHC II molecules exclusively expressed by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as ...

  15. The Role of Antigen Processing and Presentation in Cancer and the

    1. The Immune System and Cancer. The interplay between the immune system and cancer termed "cancer immunoediting" is a dynamic and continuously evolving process in which immune responses can eradicate tumor cells but also promote tumor progression through selective pressures [1,2].The temporal evolution of the immune system-cancer interaction is usually considered to consist of at least ...

    Immune checkpoint inhibition does not benefit all patients. This Review discusses how antigen presentation, which is crucial for the success of this therapy, may be disrupted in tumours and ...

  17. Innate Immunity: Phagocytes and Antigen Presentation

    Innate Immunity: Phagocytes and Antigen Presentation. The immune system is equipped with a varied repertoire of defense mechanisms against pathogens. Functionally, the immune system is differentiated into the innate and adaptive components. Innate immunity, the 1st protective layer of defense, is a system that recognizes threatening microbes ...

  18. Antigen Presentation

    Antigen presentation. Antigen presentation broadly consists of pathogen recognition, phagocytosis of the pathogen or its molecular components, processing of the antigen, and then the presentation of the antigen to naive (mature but not yet activated) T cells. The ability of the adaptive immune system to fight off pathogens and end an infection ...

    Antigens & the Immune System. In order to define an antigen-presenting cell, it's helpful to first define an antigen. ... Antigen Presentation. Some immune cells don't recognize specific antigens ...

  20. CRISPR/Cas9 technology for advancements in cancer immunotherapy: from

    Enhancing tumour antigen presentation could be a promising therapeutic strategy (Fig. 2d). The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on the surface of tumour cells binds to antigenic peptides, presenting the antigen on the cell surface and being recognized by immune system T cells.
