NLRC5 Functions beyond MHC I Regulation-What Do We Know So Far?

abstract：:Dendritic cells (DCs) are the guardians of the immune system since they are located in the majority of peripheral tissues. In addition, they are crucial for the induction of an effective immune response based on their unique capacity to stimulate naive T cells. During co-evolution, the human pathogen herpes simplex vi...
