Association between NDO-LID and PGL-1 for leprosy and class I and II human leukocyte antigen alleles in an indigenous community in Southwest Amazon

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
The frequencies of the Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles in the Puyanawa indigenous reserve population and their association with the NDO-LID and ELISA PGL-1 rapid serological test was assessed.

Characterization of the major histocompatibility complex class II genes in miiuy croaker. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has a central role in the adaptive immune system by presenting foreign peptide to the T-cell receptor. In order to study the molecular function and genomic characteristic of class II genes in teleost, the full ...

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Postoperative abdominal sepsis induces selective and persistent changes in CTCF binding within the MHC-II region of human monocytes.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundPostoperative abdominal infections belong to the most common triggers of sepsis and septic shock in intensive care units worldwide. While monocytes play a central role in mediating the initial host response to infections, sepsis-induced immune ...

Identification of a CD4+ T cell-stimulating antigen of pathogenic bacteria by expression cloning. [PDF]

, 1995
Identifying the immunogenic proteins that elicit pathogen-specific T cell responses is key to rational vaccine design. While several approaches have succeeded in identifying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I bound peptides that stimulate CD8+

Repression of CIITA by the Epstein-Barr virus transcription factor Zta is independent of its dimerization and DNA binding [PDF]

, 2016
Repression of the cellular CIITA gene is part of the immune evasion strategy of the γherpes virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) during its lytic replication cycle in B-cells. In part this is mediated through down regulation of MHC class II gene expression via

Development of human monoclonal antibodies against TARM1 by yeast display

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human monoclonal antibodies against TARM1 are generated by yeast display‐guided selection. These antibodies bind to soluble and cell‐surface forms of TARM1. Also, these antibodies exhibit agonistic activity in the NFAT‐GFP reporter assay, indicating that TARM1 signaling can be functionally modulated by antibodies and suggesting TARM1 as a potential ...

Distinct mutational processes shape selection of MHC class I and class II mutations across primary and metastatic tumors

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Disruption of antigen presentation via loss of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression is a strategy whereby cancer cells escape immune surveillance and develop resistance to immunotherapy.

Involvement of Mhc Loci in immune responses that are not Ir-gene-controlled [PDF]

, 1982
Twenty-nine randomly chosen, soluble antigens, many of them highly complex, were used to immunize mice of two strains, C3H and B10.RIII. Lymphnode cells from the immunized mice were restimulated in vitro with the priming antigens and the proliferative ...
