## Heat shock increases antigenic peptide generation but decreases antigen presentation The heat shock response is a universal and highly conserved cellular response to stress. We describe here the effect of elevated temperature on the capacity of B cells to present antigen. Heat shock markedly af
## Characteristics of peptides which compete for presented antigen-binding sites on antigen-presenting cells* The T cell recognition of globular protein antigens requires the cell surface presentation of the protein by Ia-expressing antigen-presenting cells (APC). The mechanisms by which APC funct
The immune system has evolved complex mechanisms for the recognition and elimination of pathogens. CD4/ helper T lymphocytes play a central role in orchestrating immune responses and their activation is carefully regulated. These cells selectively recognize short peptide antigens stably associated w
