Antigen processing by MHC class I molecules begins with the generation of peptides by proteolytic breakdown of proteins. IFN-γ upregulates gene expression of several proteasomal subunits as well as the proteasome regulator PA28; this implicated their role in antigen degradation. Crystallographic, mu

Dendritic cells (DCs) are "professional" antigen-presenting cells capable of stimulating T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity when loaded with and presenting specific antigens, including tumor antigens. We demonstrated the stimulation of an autologous cytotoxic T-cell response elicited by DC loaded
Professional antigen-presenting cells (APC), e.g. dendritic cells, express immuno-proteasome components and process proteins for MHC presentation differently from non-immune cells. Thus, they induce reactivities against sets of peptides that do not overlap with those generated by non-professional AP
## Abstract SSX2 is a member of the family of cancer/testis antigens. The SSX2 derived peptide SSX2~103–111~ has been shown to be presented to cytotoxic T‐lymphocytes (CTL) by Major‐Histocompatibility (MHC) Class‐I complexes after endogenous processing, more precisely by the allele HLA‐A\*0201. The
