Immune response
Antigen presentation
The display of antigen by antigen-presenting cells for recognition by cognate lymphocytes
Hypotheses on this target 2
Inhibition
Activation
Function preservation2
Clearance restoration
Immunosuppression
Feedback restoration
Rhythm restoration
Function preservation2
Rapid killing delays immune protection when cells cannot meet before antigen display ends
Where this hypothesis actsAfter accelerated killing shortens antigen display below the time needed for all required responders to be primed
What is proposedExtend the duration of usable antigen display
With whatNot stated in the record
HowPreserve nonreplicating antigen to extend the window available for productive priming contacts
Possible resultPossible recruitment of previously unprimed responders and rescue of adaptive-response onset

Immune regulation hides target peptides, containing self-attack but weakening surveillance
Where this hypothesis actsTarget cells under compensating regulation after infection interrupts central self-antigen sampling
What is proposedRetain protective peptide presentation while removing pathogenic self-peptide presentation
With whatProtein or peptide as the agent
HowPerturb implicated antigen-processing enzymes and use calibrated peptide loading to test selective restoration of peptide presentation
Possible resultPossible containment of autoreactivity while retaining antiviral and abnormal-cell surveillance
