Little is known of the exact sequence of events that occur in the processing of exogenously derived antigen for presentation via major histocompatability class II (MHCII) antigens. Proteolytic enzymes, namely cathepsin proteinases, are responsible for degrading endocytosed antigen in specific intracellular compartments of antigen presenting cells (APC). It is still unclear how such a wide variety of peptides can be generated from a single antigen and in such a way that a hierarchy of immunogenicity exists amongst these peptides. The gastrointestinal epithelium is among the non-lymphoid tissues implicated as having the potential to process and present antigen. How the processing of exogenous antigen by 'non-professional' APC such as these re...
