About TAP
Transporters Associated with Antigen Processing (TAP) are ABC transporters responsible for supplying tumor-associated antigens and viral antigens used in the assembly of MHC class I surface molecules. MHC class I molecules are required for the recognition and destruction of tumor cells and virus infected cells by the cellular arm of the immune system. A wide variety of metastatic cancers evade destruction by the immune system due to absent or insufficient amounts of TAP, making the tumors unrecognizable by the immune system. The TAP molecule also works as an adjuvant to enhance vaccines against infectious diseases.
