The role of dendritic cells in presenting tumor and autoimmune epitopes produced by proteasomal peptide splicing

Biochemist Peter M. Kloetzel (Charité-Universitätsmedizin), rheumatologist Andreas Radbruch (Deutsches Rheuma-Forschungszentrum Berlin) and immunologist Richard Kroczek from the Robert Koch Institute are hoping for new treatment options for tumours and autoimmune diseases. With an interdisciplinary approach, the top researchers have succeeded in using a specially developed computer method to analyse parts of small proteins that occur in connection with diseases.
