Comparing Pooled Peptides with Intact Protein for Accessing Cross-presentation Pathways for Protective CD8+ and CD4+ T Cells

To better understand the mechanisms of intracellular trafficking and presentation of exogenous peptides by antigen-presenting cells (APC), we compared the handling of overlapping 24-mer peptides from HIV Nef either mixed or covalently linked in tandem in one protein. Once internalized, peptides traf...
