Canonical and Non-Canonical Functions of the Autophagy Machinery in MHC Restricted Antigen Presentation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Macroautophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. Since major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules sample peptides after lysosomal degradation for presentation to CD4+ T cells, it was originally described that ...

Current research status of HLA in immune‐related diseases

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA), also known as human major histocompatibility complex (MHC), is encoded by the HLA gene complex, and is currently known to have the highest gene density and the most polymorphisms among human chromosomal areas.

Discovery and Differential Processing of HLA Class II-Restricted Minor Histocompatibility Antigen LB-PIP4K2A-1S and Its Allelic Variant by Asparagine Endopeptidase

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Minor histocompatibility antigens are the main targets of donor-derived T-cells after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Identification of these antigens and understanding their biology are a key requisite for more insight into how graft vs.

MHC Class II Presentation in Autoimmunity

Cells, 2023
Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules is crucial for eliciting an efficient immune response by CD4+ T cells and maintaining self-antigen tolerance.

Antigenic peptide binding by class I and class II histocompatibility proteins [PDF]

Structure, 1994
The recent determination of the structure of a class II MHC molecule complexed to a specific peptide reveals both similarities and differences with peptide binding by class I MHC.

Epithelial-myeloid exchange of MHC class II constrains immunity and microbiota composition

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) have long been understood to express high levels of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC class II) molecules but are not considered canonical antigen-presenting cells, and the impact of IEC-MHC class ...

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 ...

Endogenous antigen presentation of MHC class II epitopes through non-autophagic pathways

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Antigenic peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are generally derived from exogenous proteins acquired by antigen presenting cells. However, in some circumstances, MHC class II molecules can present intracellular

Herpesviruses Placating the Unwilling Host: Manipulation of the MHC Class II Antigen Presentation Pathway

Viruses, 2012
Lifelong persistent infection by herpesviruses depends on the balance between host immune responses and viral immune evasion. CD4 T cells responding to antigens presented on major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules are known to play ...
