## Abstract Whether specific proteases influence MHC class II antigen presentation is still not clearly defined. Cathepsin D, one of the most abundant lysosomal proteases, is thought to be dispensable for MHC class II antigen presentation, yet __in vitro__ digestions of antigen substrates with endo
Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of 4 patients with malignant effusions were stimulated for 6 days with purified autologous tumour cells, before isolation of the lymphoblasts and cloning by limiting dilution in interleukin-2 (IL-2). Forty-five clones were analyzed for cytotoxicity (CTX) against au
## Abstract Both CD4^+^ and CD8^+^ T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the autoimmune process leading to T1D. Dendritic cells take up foreign antigens and autoantigens; within their endocytic compartments, proteases degrade exogenous antigens for subsequent presentation to CD4^+^ T cells __via__ M
The current studies were carried out to examine the basis for the differences in the antigenic peptides generated from exogenous and endogenous forms of hen egg white lysozyme (HEL). The role of different intracellular compartments in the generation and binding of HEL peptides derived from two endog
