Resealing efficiency and release of endogenous adjuvants. Recent evidence suggests that the cytosol of mammalian cells contains molecules with adjuvant activity that are able to stimulate maturation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and activate naive T cells. Plasma-membrane repair might have a role in preventing immunostimulation, by limiting the release of cytosol from accidentally injured cells. (Modified from Rock et al, 2005).
