| Abstract | Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules generally present peptides derived from cytoplasmic proteins, but recent reports have suggested that macrophages (M phi) may be uniquely able to present exogenous antigens via these molecules, and that particle-associated antigens show a marked increase in the efficiency of such presentation. We confirm here that particle uptake by M phi permits exogenous ovaalbumin (OVA) to gain access to the endogenous class I processing pathway, an event that occurs rarely, if at all, in the absence of phagocytic stimuli. Presentation of soluble protein antigens by MHC class I molecules, however, is not limited to M phi, nor is direct coupling of antigen to the particle required. A variety of unconjugated particles promoted presentation of simultaneously offered soluble OVA to Kb-restricted T cells by both M phi and non-M phi antigen-presenting cells (APC), provided the latter could phagocytose the particles. Enhancement of presentation by phagocytic stimuli could not be explained by greater delivery of soluble antigen to endosomal compartments because such stimuli did not increase soluble tracer accumulation, nor did they improve presentation of OVA to an MHC class II-restricted T cell hybridoma. OVA presentation induced by cophagocytosis of particles and free antigen was nevertheless very inefficient in comparison to presentation of OVA peptide, and even modest responses required high concentrations of protein and particles. Furthermore, only a fraction of APC exposed to OVA and particles were lysed by anti-OVA cytotoxic T lymphocytes, despite virtually all cells showing OVA accumulation, particle uptake, and Kb expression. Titration experiments were most consistent with a model in which, by disrupting membrane integrity, phagocytic overload ("indigestion") allows escape of OVA into the cytosol of some APC, rather than with a model in which phagocytosis activates a novel antigen processing pathway that has evolved to permit class I loading of exogenous antigen. These data suggest caution in the development of vaccine strategies based on use of particle conjugates for elicitation of CD8+ T cell immunity, but, at the same time, may be relevant to understanding class I-restricted responses to some intracellular pathogens normally resident in membrane- bound vesicles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
