Altered Antigen Presentation (AAP)

Target
AAP
Molecular classification
Cellular Process, Immune Process
01

Overview

Altered antigen presentation refers to changes in how antigens are processed and displayed to T cells, impacting T cell activation, function, and fate. It involves modifications in antigen processing, MHC molecule expression, co-stimulatory molecule presentation, and the kinetics of peptide-MHC display. These alterations can lead to various outcomes, including T cell anergy, immune escape, or enhanced immune responses, depending on the context. Altered antigen presentation plays a crucial role in diseases such as cancer and autoimmunity and is a target for immunotherapeutic interventions.
