The cellular immune response depends upon T cell recognition of peptides presented on the surface of cells. Tens to hundreds of thousand different MHC-bound surface peptides (the immunopeptidome) are simultaneously displayed for scrutiny by T cells. Although mass spectrometry offers a powerful approach for measurement of antigen, the informatics required for MHC peptides is one of the most extreme challenges faced in any area of study in proteomics...
