Determination of a predictive cleavage motif for eluted major histocompatibility complex class II ligands [PDF]
CD4+ T cells have a major role in regulating immune responses. They are activated by recognition of peptides mostly generated from exogenous antigens through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II pathway.

Comparison of exon 5 sequences from 35 class I genes of the BALB/c mouse [PDF]
DNA sequences of the fifth exon, which encodes the transmembrane domain, were determined for the BALB/c mouse class I MHC genes and used to study the relationships between them. Based on nucleotide sequence similarity, the exon 5 sequences can be divided

Major Histocompatibility Complex I and II Expression and Lymphocytic Subtypes in Muscle of Horses with Immune-Mediated Myositis. [PDF]
BackgroundMajor histocompatibility complex (MHC) I and II expression is not normally detected on sarcolemma, but is detected with lymphocytic infiltrates in immune-mediated myositis (IMM) of humans and dogs and in dysferlin-deficient muscular dystrophy ...

Mother-child histocompatibility and risk of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus among mothers. [PDF]
The study objective was to test the hypothesis that having histocompatible children increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly by contributing to the persistence of fetal cells acquired during ...

Regulation of autoimmunity and donor cell engraftment by recipient Lyt-2+ cells during the graft-versus-host reaction. [PDF]
When lymphocytes from DBA/2 mice are transferred to (C57BL X DBA/2)F1 (BDF1) mice, the ensuing graft-vs.-host reaction (GVHR) causes an autoimmune illness resembling human SLE.

Immune platelet transfusion refractoriness in pediatric patients undergoing HSCT
Background Children who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) sometimes have immune platelet transfusion refractoriness (IPTR). The thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) is used to increase platelet counts in a variety of immune ...
