The MHC-II Transactivator CIITA, a restriction factor against oncogenic HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 retroviruses: similarities and differences in the inhibition of Tax-1 and Tax-2 viral transactivators [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 The activation of CD4+ T helper cells is strictly dependent on the presentation of antigenic peptides by MHC Class II molecules. MHC-II expression is primarily regulated at the transcriptional level by the AIR-1 gene product CIITA (Class II ...
