Answer #1

Jntracellular peptides or virus in cells undergoes fragmentation via proteasomes. Proteasomes are structures that are responsible for degradation of proteins. When the peptide fragments are produced, they bind to TAP, a type of ABC transporter on the cytoplasmic side. With the help of ATP hydrolysis, the peptide is transported from the cytoplasm to the inside of ER lumen. The selected peptide is then expressed over MHC I which is then transported to golgi complex , then to the outside of cell via secretory vesicles where they interact with T lymphocytes
