Class I presentation requires internal synthesis of virus protein, as shown by the requirement that the target cell be infected by live virus, and by the inhibition of class I presentation observed when protein synthesis was blocked by the inhibitor emetine.

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.
