Descriptor English: Antigen Presentation
Descriptor Spanish: Presentación de Antígeno
Descriptor presentación de antígenos
Entry term(s) procesamiento del antígeno
Scope note: Proceso por el cual el antígeno es presentado a los linfocitos de un modo que éstos lo puedan reconocer. Se lleva a cabo por las células presentadoras de antígeno (CPA). Algunos antígenos requieren un procesamiento antes de que puedan ser reconocidos. El procesamiento del antígeno consta de la ingestión y de la digestión parcial del antígeno por las CPA, seguido de la presentación de fragmentos en la superficie celular.

Scope note: The process by which antigen is presented to lymphocytes in a form they can recognize. This is performed by antigen presenting cells (APCs). Some antigens require processing before they can be recognized. Antigen processing consists of ingestion and partial digestion of the antigen by the APC, followed by presentation of fragments on the cell surface. (From Rosen et al., Dictionary of Immunology, 1989)
