Viral antigen presentation and MHC assembly

T J Braciale et al. Semin Immunol. 1992 Apr.

Abstract

Viruses and other intracellular pathogens represent a unique challenge to the vertebrate immune system. To deal with this problem of intracellular invasion the immune system has developed an elegant strategy to mark virally infected cells. This review discusses current issues relating to the cell biology of MHC molecule assembly and antigen presentation events from the standpoint of viruses and anti-viral immunity.
