Exosomes, internal antigens, dendritic cells, and the lymph

How do myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells get viral antigens from inside infected cells? From exosomes? 


What about viruses that infect the nucleus or the mitochondria?


Cells infected with mitochondrial virus HCV secrete exosomes

When entering the lymph node the exosomes get absorbed by the SCS while larger antigens move down the conduit? how does that work?

The conduits in the lymph node/spleen are a network formed by collagen fibers

Are exosomes blocked from conduit travel?
