MUC1 antigen has shown to be stucked in endolysoso- mal compartment of DCs thus inducing mostly a Th2 response. Objective of this study was to investigate whether glycosylation pattern and MUC1 bound to microvesicles could influence the antigen processing by DCs. MUC1 as soluble molecule, independently by the glycosylation profile, appears to be blocked in the pre- endosomal compartment. Receptor-mediated endocyto- sis pushes further the processing in the HLAII compart- ment. Cross-processing of MUC1 in HLAI compartment is observed only when MUC1 is carried by microvesicles (MUC1-MVs).
