Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I cross-presentation is thought to involve two pathways, one of which depends on both the TAP transporters and the proteasome and the other on neither. We found that preincubation of TAP-deficient dendritic cells at low temperature increases the density of MHC class I at the surface and fully restores cross-presentation of phagocytosed antigen, but not of soluble antigen internalized through receptors. Restoration of cross-presentation by TAP-deficien ...[more]
