title: Processing of viral antigens and presentation to class II-restricted T cells.
abstract: Some antigens require intracellular processing by antigen presenting cells before being presented to T cells in conjunction with surface major histocompatibility complex antigens. The whole mechanism of these processing events is not known and in this article, Kingston Mills puts forward arguments for alternative routes of antigen processing, with particular reference to recognition of viral proteins by class II-restricted T-cell clones.
