Cross-presentation allows exogenous antigens to be presented by the major histocompatibility I pathway. Here the authors show that the inducible cross-presentation by plasmacytoid dendritic cells is modulated by mitochondria-originated reactive oxygen ...

Tolerogenic effect of noninherited maternal antigens in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Major histocompatibility complex antigens that provoke severe transplant reactions are referred to as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in human and as the H-2 in mice.

For patients with end stage renal disease, kidney transplant offers significant survival and quality-of-life advantages compared with dialysis. But for patients seeking transplant who are highly sensitized, waiting times have traditionally been long and

Antigen presentation by hapten-specific B lymphocytes. I. Role of surface immunoglobulin receptors. [PDF]
The present study examines the ability of hapten-specific murine splenic B lymphocytes to present hapten-proteins to carrier-specific T cell hybridomas.

Impaired Intracellular Transport and Cell Surface Expression of Nonpolymorphic HLA-E [PDF]
The assembly of the classical, polymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum requires the presence of peptide ligands and ~2-microglobulin (~2m). Formation of this trimolecular complex is a prerequisite for e~

B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Phenotype frequencies of autosomal minor histocompatibility antigens display significant differences among populations. [PDF]
Minor histocompatibility (H) antigens are allogeneic target molecules having significant roles in alloimmune responses after human leukocyte antigen-matched solid organ and stem cell transplantation (SCT).

Identification of mouse H-2 antigens by mixed lymphocyte culture in the presence of PHA. 3. Blastformation of mouse lymphocytes according to the difference in non- H-2 antigens [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that by the mixed cultures in the presence of PHA the combination of those cells whose H-2 antigens differ from each other shows a higher rate and more significant difference of blastformation than in the combination where non-H ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Histocompatibility antigens and rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
The frequency of HL-A antigens found in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was compared with that found in a nonarthritic “normal” population. An attempt was also made to quantitate the relative amounts of HL-A antigens on lymphocytes of patients with RA as compared to control subjects' lymphocytes using three different HL-A antisera ...
