SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Since the first observations of viral interference with antigen presentation in the MHC class-I pathway, the field has advanced to a detailed analysis. This text discusses proteasomal degradation of an antigenic viral protein, transfer of the proteasomal cleavage products as peptides and more.
