We studied major histocompatibility complex class II-dependent presentation of two T cell epitopes delivered as synthetic peptides by fixed macrophages. Treatment of bone marrow macrophages with inhibitors of proteinases of the metallo-, aspartic and serine proteinase families enhanced presentation
Besides their "classical" antigenic peptide-presenting activity, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens can activate different cellular functions in immune and nonimmune cells. However, this "nonclassical" role and its functional consequences are still substantially overlooked. In
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is FDA‐approved anti‐cancer modality for elimination of early disease and palliation in advanced disease. PDT efficacy depends in part on elicitation of a tumor‐specific immune response that is dependent on cytotoxic T lymphocytes
