Kinetics of Major Histocompatibility Class I Antigen Presentation in Acute Infection [PDF]
Abstract Ag presentation within the regional lymph node is crucial for the initiation of CD8+ T cell responses following viral infection. The magnitude and quality of the CD8+ T cell response are regulated by the interplay between the size of the APC population and duration of Ag presentation.

Assessment of roles for calreticulin in the cross-presentation of soluble and bead-associated antigens. [PDF]
Antigen cross-presentation involves the uptake and processing of exogenously derived antigens and their assembly with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules.

Major histocompatibility class I antigens in the Lebanese population
Except for two reports on Lebanese immigrants, there have been no studies on the major histocompatibility [MHC] antigens in the Lebanese population. We describe the frequency and distribution of MHC class I antigens present in the A, B and C loci based on data obtained from 200 healthy unrelated individuals from different parts of Lebanon.

Antigen-induced suppression: The role of Class I major histocompatibility antigens
The role of Class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens in the induction of specific suppression of graft rejection has been investigated. Two experimental transplantation models have been used ’ fully vascularized heterotopic Cardiac altografts in the mouse and fully vascularized orthotopic renal allografts in the rat.

Manipulating IL-2 availability amid presentation of donor MHC antigens suppresses murine alloimmune responses by inducing regulatory T cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens are important for alloimmune responses as well as immune tolerance. Previous studies have shown that presentation of donor MHC antigens by donor-specific transfusion prior to or upon ...

Dendritic cells crosspresent antigens from live B16 cells more efficiently than from apoptotic cells and protect from melanoma in a therapeutic model. [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DC) are able to elicit anti-tumoral CD8(+) T cell responses by cross-presenting exogenous antigens in association with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules.

Differential phosphorylation of murine class I major histocompatibility antigens
Recent studies have shown that the H-2K and H-2D transplantation antigens are expressed differentially in different tissues of mouse. Our previous investigations also established that in thioglycolate-stimulated peritoneal macrophages the H-2Dk antigen exists in distinct cell surface and intracellular forms. These two forms are glycosylated differently.
