Introduction: The detection of minerals using remote analytical techniques has the advantage of performing rapid chemical analysis of a variety of targets without sample collection. This saves significant time in planetary explorations using rovers and provides a large number of targets accessible to a lander near its landing site. The University of Hawaii (UH), in collaboration with Los Alamos...

Production of MHC-I ligands from antigenic proteins generally requires multiple proteolytic events. While the proteolytic steps required for antigen processing in the endogenous pathway are clearly established, persisting gaps of knowledge regarding putative cross-presentation compartments have made it difficult to map the precise proteolytic events required for generation of cross-presented an...
