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~

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

Antigen processing for MHC class II presentation via autophagy
T cells recognize proteolytic fragments of antigens that are presented to them on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. MHC class I molecules present primarily products of proteasomal proteolysis to CD8+ T cells, while MHC class II molecules ...

Is There any Greater Possibility in Finding HLA-identical Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors among Thalassemia Families for Transplantation of Thalassemia Patients? [PDF]
Background: Thalassemia is probably the most common single gene disorder causing a major public health problem in the world. Currently, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative therapy for thalassemia.

Sequence of the mouse Q4 class I gene and characterization of the gene product [PDF]
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.

Molecular modeling of an antigenic complex between a viral peptide and a class I major histocompatibility glycoprotein [PDF]
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 ...
