DRiPs get molecular.

DRiPs get molecular. Curr Opin Immunol. 2020 Jun 29;64:130-136 Authors: Yewdell JW, Hollý J Abstract The defective ribosomal product (DRiP) hypothesis was proposed nearly 25 years ago to account for the rapid generation of peptides from otherwise metabolically stable viral proteins. It posits that errors in converting genetic information into stable proteins accounts for a sizeable fraction of the immunopeptidome. Here, we review recent studies that provide insight into the importance of DRiPs for immunosurveillance and the myriad mechanisms that give rise to DRiPs.
