Immunological Functions of the Membrane Proximal Region of MHC Class II Molecules [version 1; referees: 3 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules present exogenously derived antigen peptides to CD4 T cells, driving activation of naïve T cells and supporting CD4-driven immune functions.

Gardiquimod Nanoemulsion Targets Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions Reducing Systemic Toxicity and Parasite Burden

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion delivery of a TLR7 agonist enhances safety and promotes colocalization with Leishmania‐infected macrophages in skin lesions, enabling a ∼2‐log reduction in parasite burden. However, tissue‐level constraints and TLR‐driven regulatory feedback generate a mixed immune response that limits complete parasite clearance.

Correlation in chicken between the marker LEI0258 alleles and Major Histocompatibility Complex sequences

BMC Proceedings, 2011
Background The LEI0258 marker is located within the B region of the chicken Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), and is surprisingly well associated with serology.

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Genes and Disease Resistance in Fish

Cells, 2019
Fascinating about classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is their polymorphism. The present study is a review and discussion of the fish MHC situation. The basic pattern of MHC variation in fish is similar to mammals, with MHC class I

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 ...

Mesenchymal Stromal Cell‐Mediated Intercellular Communication: Mapping the Interactome for Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis and Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Liu et al. define a systems‐level interactome of fibroadipogenic progenitor (FAP)‐mediated signaling in skeletal muscle by integrating single‐cell transcriptomics with FAP depletion‐based perturbation analysis. Functional interrogation using a conditioned media bioassay links predicted signaling to multicellular outcomes, establishing a framework to ...

The transmembrane domain of the adenovirus E3/19K protein acts as an ER retention signal and contributes to intracellular sequestration of MHC class I molecules [PDF]

, 2013
The human adenovirus E3/19K-protein is a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that abrogates cell-surface transport of MHC class-I (MHC-I) and MICA/B-molecules.

Using de novo genome assembly and high-throughput sequencing to characterize the MHC region in a non-model bird, the Eurasian coot

Scientific Reports, 2022
Genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) form a key component of vertebrate adaptive immunity, as they code for molecules which bind antigens of intra- and extracellular pathogens (MHC class I and II, respectively) and present them to T cell ...

RNA Helicase DDX21 Controls CD4+ T Cell Proliferation and Promotes Inflammatory Bowel Disease via Translational Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by dysregulated T cell responses. RNA helicases, including DExD‐box helicase 21 (DDX21), are pivotal in RNA metabolism, but their role in T cell‐mediated pathology during IBD remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that DDX21 expression in CD4+ T cells correlates with cell cycle and translation ...

Mice Lacking the MHC Class II Transactivator (CIITA) Show Tissue-Specific Impairment of MHC Class II Expression [PDF]

, 1996
CIITA activates the expression of multiple genes involved in antigen presentation and it is believed to be required for both constitutive and IFNγ-inducible expression of these genes.
