The Cry proteins are solubilized in the alkaline environment of insect midgut and are then proteolytically processed to yield a toxic core fragment.

Class II presentation can occur with either live or replication-incompetent virus; protein synthesis inhibitors had no effect, indicating that new protein synthesis is not a necessary condition of class II presentation.

Class II, but not class I, presentation is inhibited by treatment of the cells with an agent that blocks endocytic processing within the cell (chloroquine).

Mechanisms to protect an individual from this sort of anti-self immune attack must exist, and they do, called as tolerance

Self-reactive B cells can undergo receptor editing.

In this process, the antigen-specific V region is “edited” or switched for a different V-region gene segment via V(D)J recombination,
