Whole Exome Sequencing to Estimate Alloreactivity Potential Between Donors and Recipients in Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Whole exome sequencing was performed on HLA-matched stem cell donors and transplant recipients to measure sequence variation contributing to minor histocompatibility antigen differences between the two. A large number of nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified in each of the nine unique donor-recipient pairs tested. This variation

Expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex Antigens on Macrophages: Correlative Study Using Flow Cytometry, Radioimmunoassay, and Colloidal Gold Immunolabeling [PDF]
Correlative scanning electron microscopy (SEM), radioimmunoassay (RIA), and flow cytometric analysis were used to characterize levels of class I and class II major histocompatibility complex-encoded (MHC) antigen expression on peritoneal exudate cells of

The MoSMAR‐chip platform provides a high‐throughput and cost‐effective tool for identifying and characterizing antigen‐specific antibody‐secreting cells (ASCs) and memory B cells (MBCs) at the single‐cell level. The ASCs from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine‐immunized mice were successfully analyzed, revealing diverse neutralizing antibodies

Humoral immunocompetence in relation to condition, size, asymmetry and MHC class II variation in great snipe (Gallinago media) males [PDF]
1. In recent years many studies have investigated the relationships between different aspects of the immune system and ecology in various organisms. Yet, it remains unclear why individuals differ in their ability to mount an immune response against various antigens (often referred to as 'immunocompetence'). Different kinds of trade-offs may be involved

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 ...

Transcriptome Landscape of Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts in Human PDAC
AP‐1 family members FOS and JUN regulate the malignant phenotype conversion of normal fibroblasts (NFs) to normal‐like cancer‐associated fibroblasts (nCAFs), while transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) and interferon‐γ (IFNγ) signals triggers the interconversion between classic myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs) and inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs), respectively ...
