Peptides presented on MHC class I molecules in normal and TAP-deficient cells derive from different MHC class I processing pathways. Peptides derived from each pathway are combined in different proportions and combinations. The MHC class I peptide repertoire can therefore be compared to a painter’s palette where the different “colors” (peptides) are mixed and used to create a colorful and complex “picture.”
