| Abstract
|
:
|
The cells which originally process antigen are called an- tigen-presenting cells. The peptides of protein antigens reappear on the surface of the antigen-presenting cells, where they must become associated with membrane proteins encoded by genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in order to be recognized by T-Iymphocytes.
