Describe in detail the process of viral antigen presentation

Describe in detail the process of viral antigen presentation by alveolar epithelial cells.

Solution

CD8+ T cell recognition of alveolar cells in vitro triggered monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) expression in the targets, which was mediated by TNF-. CD8+ T lymphocyte responses is an integral part of immune response to respiratory disorders and help in pathogenesis of interstitial lung disease.
