Molecular modeling of an antigenic complex between a viral peptide and a class I major histocompatibility glycoprotein [PDF]
, 1992 Computer simulation of the conformations of short antigenic peptides (&lo residues) either free or bound to their receptor, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)- encoded glycoprotein H-2 Ld, was employed to explain experimentally determined ...

Manipulating IL-2 availability amid presentation of donor MHC antigens suppresses murine alloimmune responses by inducing regulatory T cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 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 ...

Major histocompatibility class I antigens in the Lebanese population
Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 2021 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.

Sequence of the mouse Q4 class I gene and characterization of the gene product [PDF]
, 1988 The Q4 class I gene has been shown to participate in gene conversion events within the mouse major histocompatibility complex. Its complete genomic nucleotide sequence has been determined.

Escape from the phagosome: the explanation for MHC-I processing of mycobacterial antigens?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is thought to live in an altered phagosomal environment. In this setting, the mechanisms by which mycobacterial antigens access the major histocompatibility class I (MHC-I) processing machinery remain incompletely ...

Dendritic cells crosspresent antigens from live B16 cells more efficiently than from apoptotic cells and protect from melanoma in a therapeutic model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 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
Bioscience Reports, 1988 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.

Journal of Biological Research, 2009 Aim. Human major histocompatibility complex class I antigens (HLA-A, -B, and -C) are heterodimetric molecules composed of a heavy chain non covalently associated with an invariant protein known as B2-microglobulin. Besides being expressed on the membrane

Infectious Diseases and Immunity: Special Reference to Major Histocompatibility Complex
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997 Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are an inherent system of alloantigens, which are the products of genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
