Editor's evaluation: Immunopeptidomics reveals determinants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen presentation on MHC class I

Bavesh D Kana

Abstract

Human macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis present peptides derived from substrates of type VII secretion systems on MHC class I via a pathway dependent on the ESX-1 secretion system and independent of antigen processing by the proteasome and cathepsins.
