Summary of exogenous antigen processing
• T cells can not recognise native antigens
• Antigens must be processed for recognition by T cells
• Antigens catabolism occurs inside cells
• Only metabolically active cells can process antigen
• Antigen presentation does not require metabolically-active cells
• Antigen processing involves the lysosomal system
• Catabolism reduces antigens to peptides
• Because extracellular antigens are dealt with by the lysosomal system, lysosomal antigen processing is part of the
EXOGENOUS antigen processing pathway
![Page 10: T cells do not recognise native antigens](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568164c0550346895dd6d2e4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Is exogenous antigen processing sufficient?
Most cell types do not have lysosomal systems developed as well as macrophages
BUT
Viruses can infect most cell types
M
• Macrophages have well-developed lysosomal
systems• Specialised for motility, phagocytosis and the introduction
of particles to the lysosomal system
A non-lysosomal mechanism to process antigens for presentation to T cells is required

Non-lysosomal processingThe antigens of infectious & inactivated viruses are clearly generated by
different mechanisms

Inactive virus raises a weak CTL response
The processing of antigens from inactive viruses is sensitive to lysosomotrophic drugs
ANTIGENS FROM INACTIVE VIRUSES ARE PROCESSED VIA THE EXOGENOUS PATHWAY
Infectious virus raises a strong CTL response
The processing of antigens from infectious viruses is NOT sensitive to lysosomotrophic drugs
Most CTL recognise antigens generated via a non-lysosomal pathway
Protein synthesis is required for non-lysosomal antigen processing
ANTIGENS FROM INFECTIOUS VIRUSES ARE PROCESSED VIA THE ENDOGENOUS PATHWAY
Non-lysosomal antigen processing
Do the two pathways generate the same type of T cell receptor ligand?

The components of the proteasome include MECL-1, LMP2, LMP7These components are induced by IFN- and replace constitutive
components to confer proteolytic properties.

• T and B cells recognise antigen differently• Antigen must be catabolised before T cells can recognise it• Antigen processing generates antigenic peptides• Exogenous antigen processing takes place in lysosomes• Endogenous processing is non-lysosomal• The mechanism of antigen processing depends upon the
compartment in which the pathogen replicates• Endogenous and exogenous antigen processing both involve
uptake, degradation, complex formation and presentation• Exogenous antigen processing uses invariant chain and HLA-DM• Endogenous antigen processing uses proteasomes and peptide
transporters in antigen processing• Pathogens can evade immunity by disrupting antigen processing
