01
Overview
Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen presentation is a complex process involving macrophages and dendritic cells that present mycobacterial antigens via MHC class I and II pathways to T cells. M. tuberculosis actively modulates this process to evade immune detection by inhibiting MHC expression, disrupting antigen processing, manipulating the phagosomal environment, and utilizing specialized secretion systems like ESX-1 to control antigen access to the presentation pathways. Secreted antigens like ESAT-6, Ag85B, and CFP-10 are immunodominant and serve as key vaccine targets. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective vaccines that can overcome the bacterium's evasion strategies.
