Role of B-cell and Fc receptors in the selection of T-cell epitopes Sebastian Amigorena and Christian Bonnerot

The role of specific receptors in antigen internalization and presentation to helper T lymphocytes has been known for more than ten years. However, recent work indicates that internalization may not always be sufficient for antigen presentation. Indeed, antigen receptors such as B-cell receptors and Fc receptors may also be involved in the post-endocytic transport events that determine selectively the delivery of antigens to different endocytic compartments and thereby the presentation of different T-cell epitopes.

Studies from our laboratory have shown that classical clinical and histological signs of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) may be induced in Lewis rats by synthetic peptides S49 or S55. Peptides S49S and S55S are defined by residues 69-84 and 72-84 of the guinea pig myelin basic protein

he specificity of T-cell recognition events is essential for protective immune responses and in order to avoid autoimmunity. Binding of the T-cell receptor (TCR) to peptide bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is an early step for specific T-cell activation. This engagement lead
