Major histocompatibility complex B variability in Korean native chicken breeds

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2020
Adaptive genetic variations have direct influences on the fitness traits of the animal. The major histocompatibility complex B (MHC-B) region is responsible for adaptive and innate immune responses in chickens.

Non-major-histocompatibility-complex genetics of ankylosing spondylitis

open access: yes, 2006
There is strong evidence from twin and family studies indicating that a substantial proportion of the heritability of susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and its clinical manifestations is encoded by non-major-histocompatibility-complex genes ...

A DNA vaccine construct incorporating intercellular trafficking and intracellular targeting motifs effectively primes and induces memory B and T cell responses in outbred animals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We developed a vaccine construct in which a BVP22 domain and an invariant-chain major histocompatibility complex class II-targeting motif capable of enhancing dendritic cell antigen uptake and presentation were fused to a sequence encoding a B- and T ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

HLA-check: evaluating HLA data from SNP information

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region of the human genome, and specifically the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, play a major role in numerous human diseases.

Comparative Genomics of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) of Felids

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
This review summarizes the current knowledge on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the family Felidae. This family comprises an important domestic species, the cat, as well as a variety of free-living felids, including several endangered ...

Type I interferons modulate autophagy to shape gemcitabine response in pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Type I interferons differentially modulate autophagy and the response of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. IFNα2b stimulates autophagic flux and protects cells from gemcitabine‐induced cell death, contributing to chemoresistance. In contrast, IFNβ1a inhibits autophagosome formation and enhances gemcitabine‐induced cell death, resulting in ...

Immunogenetics and infectious diseases: special reference to the mayor histocompatibility complex

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Many studies have tried to identify genetic markers for infectious diseases, some of them have focused on human leukocyte antigens (HLA). The products of HLA genes interact with surface-specific receptors of T lymphocytes, resulting in activation of the ...

Molecular Genetics of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Future Prospectus in Pakistan

open access: yesNUST Journal of Natural Sciences, 2010
The spectrum of rheumatic disease is wide and includes conditions with diverse pathology, although most have in common a heritable risk with a complex genetic basis.

A tangled history: patterns of major histocompatibility complex evolution in the African mole-rats (family: Bathyergidae)

open access: yes, 2007
Phylogenetic trees based upon major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene sequences, particularly those encompassing sites encoding the antigen recognition site, are often discordant with the species tree.
