| Recognition of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex proteins provides the requisite specificity seen in adaptive immune responses. With much help from our experts, we have assembled an annotated list of classics in this area. The papers that best identify the key components and rules that govern antigen processing and presentation are included. We gratefully acknowledge the following individuals for their expert advice in selecting these classic papers: Sebastian Amigorena, Peter Jensen, Peter Kloetzel, Jacques Neefjes, Ken Rock, Nilabh Shastri and Colin Watts. |
