Chlamydia trachomatis Infection Impairs MHC-I Intracellular Trafficking and Antigen Cross-Presentation by Dendritic Cells

During cross-presentation, exogenous antigens (i.e.intracellular pathogens or tumor Siege cells) are internalized and processed within the endocytic system and also by the proteasome in the cytosol.Then, antigenic peptides are associated with Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules and these complexes transit to the plasma membrane
