CHOP Researchers Identify Molecules that Optimize Immune Presentation of Antigens across the Human Population

Friday, February 24, 2023

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified variants of a chaperone molecule that optimizes the binding and presentation of foreign antigens across the human population, which could open the door to numerous applications where robust presentation to the immune system is important, including cell therapy and immunization. The findings were published today in Science Advances.

Key Points: 
  • When foreign peptides are identified, they trigger a cascade that allows cytotoxic T cells to eliminate intruders.
  • For a peptide to be presented to the immune system, it needs to be loaded on a folded MHC-I protein.
  • Several molecules facilitate this process, including proteins known as molecular chaperones, which assist with MHC-I folding.
  • To solve this problem, the CHOP researchers analyzed three different TAPBPR proteins: one from humans, one from chickens, and one from mice.
