The Epstein-Barr Virus G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Contributes to Immune Evasion by Targeting MHC Class I Molecules for Degradation [PDF]
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus that persists as a largely subclinical infection in the vast majority of adults worldwide. Recent evidence indicates that an important component of the persistence strategy involves active interference with

The macroautophagy machinery has been implicated in MHC class II restricted antigen presentation. Here, we report that this machinery assists in the internalization of MHC class I molecules.

Melanosomal targeting sequences from gp100 are essential for MHC class II-restricted endogenous epitope presentation and mobilization to endosomal compartments [PDF]
CD4+ T lymphocytes play an important role in CD8+ T cell-mediated responses against tumors. Considering that about 20% of melanomas express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, it is plausible that concomitant antigenic presentation by MHC ...

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the cross-presentation of allopeptides derived from donor major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules by recipient class I MHC molecules in the context of transplantation rejection.

Recognition surfaces of MHC class I
Summary: Recent crystallographic results have provided dose to atomic resolution views of the recognition events mediated by MHC class I molecules. The specificity‐conferring interaction of MHC class I/peptide with a T‐cell antigen receptor (TCR) appears dependent on certain key interactions with the MHC scaffold.

Structural analysis of the adenovirus type 2 E3/19K protein using mutagenesis and a panel of conformation-sensitive monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
The E3/19K protein of human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) was the first viral protein shown to interfere with antigen presentation. This 25 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein binds to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in the endoplasmic ...

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are key players in initiating immune responses towards invading pathogens. Both MHC class I and class II genes are present in teleosts, and, using phylogenetic clustering, sequences from both classes have ...

Antibody-mediated rejection of arterialised venous allografts is inhibited by immunosuppression in rats. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN: We determined in a rat model (1) the presence and dynamics of alloantibodies recognizing MHC complexes on quiescent Brown-Norway (BN) splenic cells in the sera of Lewis (LEW) recipients of Brown-Norway iliolumbar vein grafts under ...

Positive selection of an MHC class-I restricted TCR in the absence of classical MHC class I molecules [PDF]
The H-2Ldalloreactive 2C T cell receptor (TCR) is commonly considered as being positively selected on the H-2Kbmolecule. Surprisingly, 2C TCR+CD8+single-positive T cells emerge in massive numbers in fetal thymic organ culture originating from 2C transgenic, H-2KbDb−/−(2C+KbDb−/−) but not in fetal thymic organ culture from β2-microglobulin−/−2C ...

Lack of association between alopecia areata and HLA class I and II in a southeastern Brazilian population [PDF]
: Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a common disorder of unknown etiology that affects approximately 0.7% to 3.8% of patients among the general population. Currently, genetic and autoimmune factors are emphasized as etiopathogenic.
