Many viral proteins that contain MHC class I-restricted peptides are long-lived, and it is elusive how they can give rise to class I epitopes. Recently, we showed that direct presentation of an epitope of the long-lived lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus nucleoprotein (LCMV-NP) required neosynthesis in accordance with the defective ribosomal products hypothesis. In this study, we report that LCMV-NP can be cross-primed in mice using either LCMV-NP-transfected human HEK293 or BALB/c-derived B8… CONTINUE READING
