Randomized trial investigates antigen processing in T2Kb cells, suggesting alternative pathways in antigen presentation.

This research aims to understand how T2Kb cells process and present Sendai virus antigens through alternative pathways.
Characterized processing of Sendai virus antigen using intracellular inhibitors and anti-Kb monoclonal antibodies.
Utilized lipophilic amines, cytoskeletal inhibitors, and endoprotease inhibitor to assess processing mechanisms.
Investigated involvement of internalized 'empty' Kb molecules with brefeldin A and anti-Kb antibodies.
T2Kb cells present Sendai virus antigen using an endosomal-like compartment.
Processing depends on uptake, vesicular transport, and intracellular-vesicular proteolysis.
Internalized 'empty' Kb molecules from the cell surface play a role in antigen presentation.

Liu et al. (1997) studied this question.
