The known unknowns of antigen processing and presentation
In this case, lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 isoform A (LAMP2a), together with heat shock cognate protein 70 (HSC70; also known as HSPA), can transport a cytoplasmic antigen to MHC class ...

Emerging Roles of Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Cancer: From Protein Aggregation to Immune-Associated Signaling
Figure 3. (A) Phosphorylated T cell receptors (TCRs) recruit and activate cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase ZAP70, which in turn phosphorylates the linker for the activation of T cells (LAT). LAT drives the ...
