Major Histocompatibility Complex-B haplotype and ovarian graft response
: Gonadal tissue transfer is considered one of the best methods to preserve genetic variability. Poultry hosts can receive a gonad from a donor of a different genetic background, sustain the growth of this graft, and produce gametes from it ...

Murine liver allograft transplantation: Tolerance and donor cell chimerism [PDF]
Nonarterialized orthotopic liver transplantation with no immunosuppression was performed in 13 mouse‐strain combinations. Two strain combinations with major histocompatibility complex class I and class II and minor histocompatibility complex disparity ...

Impact of Antigen Presentation Mechanisms on Immune Response in Autoimmune Hepatitis
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]
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
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 ...

Cryptic female choice favours sperm from major histocompatibility complex-dissimilar males [PDF]
Cryptic female choice may enable polyandrous females to avoid inbreeding or bias offspring variability at key loci after mating. However, the role of these genetic benefits in cryptic female choice remains poorly understood. Female red junglefowl, Gallus

Downregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I in bovine papillomas [PDF]
Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) induces papillomas in cattle; in the great majority of cases, these regress due to the host immune response, but they can persist and progress to malignancy.

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
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 ...

Minors come of age: minor histocompatibility antigens and graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Minor histocompatibility antigens (miHA) are responsible for the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease in the setting of a major histocompatibility complex matched sibling allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
