Autophagy promotes immune evasion of pancreatic cancer by degrading MHC-I

open access: yesNature, 2020
Immune evasion is a major obstacle for cancer treatment. Common mechanisms of evasion include impaired antigen presentation caused by mutations or loss of heterozygosity of the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I), which has been implicated ...

SARS-CoV-2 inhibits induction of the MHC class I pathway by targeting the STAT1-IRF1-NLRC5 axis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The MHC class I-mediated antigen presentation pathway plays a critical role in antiviral immunity. Here we show that the MHC class I pathway is targeted by SARS-CoV-2.

Cis interactions of immunoreceptors with MHC and non-MHC ligands [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Immunology, 2008
The conventional wisdom is that cell-surface receptors interact with ligands expressed on other cells to mediate cell-to-cell communication (trans interactions). Unexpectedly, it has recently been found that two classes of receptors specific for MHC class I molecules not only interact with MHC class I molecules expressed on opposing cells, but also ...

Severe COVID-19 and breakthrough infections in vaccinated schizophrenia patients: A matched controlled cohort study

open access: yesEuropean Psychiatry, 2023
Introduction Schizophrenia patients are at an increased risk for severe SARS-CoV-2 illness. Recent studies indicate that vaccines reduce morbidity gaps between schizophrenia patients and the general population; nonetheless, the ongoing emergence of ...

MHC Class I Downregulation in Cancer: Underlying Mechanisms and Potential Targets for Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesCancers, 2020
In recent years, major advances have been made in cancer immunotherapy. This has led to significant improvement in prognosis of cancer patients, especially in the hematological setting.

DISTRIBUTION OF MICA ALLELES IN THE RUSSIAN POPULATION

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2019
Stress factors, infections, tumor transformation of the cells of organism induce the expression of MICA protein, which is a ligand for the NKG2D receptor of NK and T cells.

MHC IIB Genetic Diversity and its Association With Humoral Immune Responses in Commercial Turkey [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018
Background: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the best characterized genetic regions controlling immune responses against vaccines. Identifying the association between MHC haplotypes and improved immune responses would be useful in genetic

Improved haplotype resolution of highly duplicated MHC genes in a long-read genome assembly using MiSeq amplicons [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Long-read sequencing offers a great improvement in the assembly of complex genomic regions, such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, which can contain both tandemly duplicated MHC genes (paralogs) and high repeat content.

454 screening of individual MHC variation in an endemic island passerine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) code for receptors that are central to the adaptive immune response of vertebrates. These genes are therefore important genetic markers with which to study adaptive genetic variation in the wild.
