Deciphering the mechanisms of cross-presentation for exogenous ROPs through their interaction with cathepsin S by Stephens, AJ

“…Each overlapping segment is separated by a cathepsin S cleavage site for processing within dendritic cells to promote antigen cross-presentation and an anti-tumour response. ROPs have been designed with the LRMK linker to target cathepsin S, a key mediator in the vacuolar pathway of cross-presentation. …”

The Athenian dramatic chorus in the fourth century BC by Jackson, LCM

A realist evaluation to explain and understand the role of paramedics in primary care by Eaton, G, Wong, G, Tierney, S, Williams, V, Mahtani, KR
