Spliced Epitopes During the Immune Response

Caption

Spliced and non-spliced epitopes are produced by a complex molecular machine -- the proteasome -- und subsequently transported to the cell surface. Here, they act as tiny flags to mark cells. These flags are used by other immune cells to distinguish between healthy and infected cells.
