'Antigen processing or cytosolic' pathway is an immunological process that prepares antigens for presentation to special cells of the immune system called T lymphocytes. It is considered to be a stage of antigen presentation pathways. This process involves two distinct pathways for processing of antigens from an organism's own (self) proteins or intracellular pathogens (e.g. viruses), or from phagocytosed pathogens (e.g. bacteria); subsequent presentation of these antigens on class I or class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is dependent on which pathway is used. Both MHC class I and II are required to bind antigen before they are stably expressed on a cell surface. MHC I antigen presentation typically (considering cross-presentation) involves the endogenous pathway of antigen processing, and MHC II antigen presentation involves the exogenous pathway of antigen processing. Cross-presentation involves parts of the exogenous and the endogenous pathways but ultimately involves the latter portion of the endogenous pathway (e.g. proteolysis of antigens for binding to MHC I molecules).

The application relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to the application of carnosic acid as an ERAP1 inhibitor in the preparation of a drug for treating ankylosing spondylitis of an autoimmune disease. The application first discovers that a monomer compound carnosic acid from a natural product source can be used as an ERAP1 direct targeting inhibitor in the preparation of a drug for regulating an endogenous antigen processing and presentation pathway and ankylosing spondylitis of a related autoimmune disease. The carnosic acid can be specifically combined in an ERAP1 active site through direct high-activity targeting, and the carnosic acid inhibits the activity of the ERAP1, is the highest in activity in the world, and has high selectivity in targeting the ERAP1 active site. The carnosic acid reverses the ankylosing spondylitis molecular pathological phenotypes caused by abnormal ERAP1 activity, including endoplasmic reticulum stress, reducing an extra amount of HLA-B27 molecules displayed on a cell surface, reducing the proportion of the HLA-B27 molecules incorrectly assembled on the cell surface, and maintaining normal antigen presentation functions.

Neoantigen analysis
Cancer immunology provides a desirable new approach for cancer treatment, but verifies that the potential neoantigens to be directed against targets are cost-effective and expensive. Analysis of MHC binding affinity, antigen processing, similarity to known antigens, predicted expression levels (as mRNA or proteins), self-similarity, and mutant allele frequency provides screening methods for identifying and prioritizing candidate neoantigens using sequencing data. The methods of the invention save time and money by identifying preferential candidate neoantigens for further experimental verification.
