question 11
for organisms that do not replicate inside the infected cells cytoplasm, in which organelle does the fusion of mhc and antigen take place?
cell membrane
nucleus
golgi apparatus
endoplasmic reticulum
For organisms that do not replicate inside the infected cell's cytoplasm, the fusion of MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) and antigen occurs in the endosome - lysosome pathway. The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins. MHC class II molecules are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. After processing in the Golgi, they are then targeted to the endosomal - lysosomal compartments where they can bind to antigens.
