Question

Influenza virus causes serious disease and death, and is responsible for one of the largest pandemics in recorded history. However, the process by which antigens are made and processed are not unique to that virus. Answer the following questions to trace how infected cells will become recognizable by the TCR of a compatible T-cell. A) Where are the viral proteins made? B) Describe the process by which viral proteins are broken down into peptides. Be sure to discuss any unique molecules or organelles that participate in the process. C) Which MHC molecule presents these peptides? D) Now that you have made peptides from the viral antigen, how do they get to and bind to the MHC molecule? Describe the process. What unique molecules are involved in this process? E) What is the final destination for these molecules/epitopes, and how do they reach that destination?
