Autophagy is the cellular process of digesting and breaking down its own organelles and proteins within lysosomes, potentially serving as a pathway for cytosolic protein processing for MHC class II presentation.
The digestion and breakdown by a cell of its own organelles and proteins in lysosomes. It may be one route by which cytosolic proteins can be processed for presentation on MHC class II molecules
