Figure 3.
Induction of immune response by dendritic cells response to different stimuli. Antigens which enter cells via endosomal pathways (blue arrows) are typically degraded within a vesicle before the contents is displayed on the cellular surface by MHC II receptors and recognized by CD4+ T cells. Alternatively, antigens present in the cytosol (red arrows) are broken down and presented on MHC I receptors, which are recognized by CD8+ T cells.
