How long does MHCI-antigen presentation take from time of infection?

03 October 2019 1 7K Report

I'm wondering this for both, a general rule and more specifically for the flu.

Hi,

It will vary from antigen to antigen. Mostly, it falls within the range of 30 mins to eight hour duration. I think, for influenza its less than two hours. You can these details from any standard immunology books or reviews

thank you
