Role of IgM-rheumatoid factor interference in the determination of total serum IgE and IgE-containing circulating immune complexes.

abstract：:In general, exogenous proteins are processed by antigen-presenting cells in the endosomes for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II presentation to CD4+ T cells, while proteins synthesized endogenously are processed in the cytoplasm for MHC class I presentation to CD8+ T cells.
