Abstract
This review examines the mechanisms by which bacteria influence the antigen ic processing of endogenous and exogenous antigens presented by class I, cl ass II, and nonclassical MHC molecules. Consequent effects on presentation of bacterial antigens, the ability of bacteria to evade host defences, and the potential induction of autoimmunity are discussed.
