Impact of Antigen Presentation Mechanisms on Immune Response in Autoimmune Hepatitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The liver is a very tolerogenic organ. It is continually exposed to a multitude of antigens and is able to promote an effective immune response against pathogens and simultaneously immune tolerance against self-antigens. In spite of strong peripheral and

Cholesterol lowering drug may influence cellular immune response by altering MHC II function[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) displays peptides to CD4+ T cells. Depletion of membrane cholesterol from APCs by methyl β-cyclodextrin treatment compromises peptide-MHC II ...

Production of Triple-Gene (GGTA1, B2M and CIITA)-Modified Donor Pigs for Xenotransplantation

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Activation of human immune T-cells by swine leukocyte antigens class I (SLA-I) and class II (SLA-II) leads to xenograft destruction. Here, we generated the GGTA1, B2M, and CIITA (GBC) triple-gene-modified Diannan miniature pigs, analyzed the ...

The major histocompatibility complex of reindeer

Rangifer, 1990
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a system of closely linked genes showing an extremely high degree of polymorphism. These genes are major elements in the government of specific immune reactions.

Major Histocompatibility Complex–Matched Arteries Have Similar Patency to Autologous Arteries in a Mauritian Cynomolgus Macaque Major Histocompatibility Complex–Defined Transplant Model

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Arterial bypass and interposition grafts are used routinely across multiple surgical subspecialties. Current options include both autologous and synthetic materials; however, each graft presents specific limitations.

Congruence as a measurement of extended haplotype structure across the genome

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2012
Background Historically, extended haplotypes have been defined using only a few data points, such as alleles for several HLA genes in the MHC. High-density SNP data, and the increasing affordability of whole genome SNP typing, creates the opportunity to ...

The Major Histocompatibility Complex in Transplantation

Journal of Transplantation, 2012
The transplant of organs is one of the greatest therapeutic achievements of the twentieth century. In organ transplantation, the adaptive immunity is considered the main response exerted to the transplanted tissue, since the principal target of the ...

Endogenous versus exogenous fatty acid availability affects lysosomal acidity and MHC class II expression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Although the immune system, inflammation, and cellular metabolism are linked to diseases associated with dyslipidemias, the mechanism(s) remain unclear.

Major histocompatibility complex genomic investigation of endangered Chinese alligator provides insights into the evolution of tetrapod major histocompatibility complex and survival of critically bottlenecked species

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
BackgroundThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene family, a vital immune gene family in vertebrates, helps animals defend against pathogens. The polymorphism of MHC genes is important for a species and is considered to be caused by the numerous ...

Evolution of major histocompatibility complex gene copy number.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2019
MHC genes, which code for proteins responsible for presenting pathogen-derived antigens to the host immune system, show remarkable copy-number variation both between and within species.
