Cohesin Regulates MHC Class II Genes through Interactions with MHC Class II Insulators [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2011 Abstract Cohesin is a multiprotein, ringed complex that is most well-known for its role in stabilizing the association of sister chromatids between S phase and M. More recently, cohesin was found to be associated with transcriptional insulators, elements that are associated with the organization of chromatin into regulatory domains.

Mice lacking all conventional MHC class II genes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 MHC class II (MHC-II) molecules play a central role in the selection of the T cell repertoire, in the establishment and regulation of the adaptive immune response, and in autoimmune deviation. We have generated knockout mice lacking all four of the classical murine MHC-II genes (MHCIIΔ/Δmice), via a large (80-kilobase) deletion of the entire class II ...

A novel HURRAH protocol reveals high numbers of monomorphic MHC class II loci and two asymmetric multi-locus haplotypes in the Père David's deer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The Père David's deer is a highly inbred, but recovered, species, making it interesting to consider their adaptive molecular evolution from an immunological perspective.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 BackgroundThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene family, a vital immune gene family in vertebrates, helps animals defend against pathogens. The polymorphism of MHC genes is important for a species and is considered to be caused by the numerous ...

Major histocompatibility complex in Osteichthyes
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2020 Based on analysis of available genome sequences, five gene lineages of MHC class I molecules (MHC I-U, -Z, -S, -L and -P) and one gene lineage of MHC class II molecules (MHC II-D) have been identified in Osteichthyes.

Positional identification and functional analysis of genes regulating autoimmune arthritis [PDF]
, 2016 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the most gene-dense and polymorphic region in the human genome with strong associations to many autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Biology, 2016 Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are key players in initiating immune responses towards invading pathogens. Both MHC class I and class II genes are present in teleosts, and, using phylogenetic clustering, sequences from both classes have ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Structures of peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex class I (pMHC-I) and class II (pMHC-II) complexes are similar. However, whereas pMHC-II complexes include similar-sized IIα and IIβ chains, pMHC-I complexes include a heavy chain (HC) and a ...
