Lack of association between alopecia areata and HLA class I and II in a southeastern Brazilian population [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016 : 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.

MHC class II tetramers made from isolated recombinant α and β chains refolded with affinity-tagged peptides. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Targeting CD4+ T cells through their unique antigen-specific, MHC class II-restricted T cell receptor makes MHC class II tetramers an attractive strategy to identify, validate and manipulate these cells at the single cell level.

Cohesin Regulates MHC Class II Genes through Interactions with MHC Class II Insulators [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2011 Abstract Cohesin is a multiprotein, ringed complex that is most well-known for its role in stabilizing the association of sister chromatids between S phase and M. More recently, cohesin was found to be associated with transcriptional insulators, elements that are associated with the organization of chromatin into regulatory domains.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023 The aggregation of epitopes that are also able to bind major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles raises questions around the potential connection between the formation of epitope aggregates and their affinities to MHC receptors. We first performed a

Antigen processing for MHC class II presentation via autophagy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 T cells recognize proteolytic fragments of antigens that are presented to them on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. MHC class I molecules present primarily products of proteasomal proteolysis to CD8+ T cells, while MHC class II molecules ...

Schistosoma japonicum soluble egg antigens attenuate IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Innate immune response plays the key role in initiating and guiding the immune response. Elucidating the innate immune related molecular events involved in the interaction between the parasite and the host will aid in the development of an effective ...

Selection and trans-species polymorphism of major histocompatibility complex class II genes in the order Crocodylia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II genes encode for molecules that aid in the presentation of antigens to helper T cells. MHC characterisation within and between major vertebrate taxa has shed light on the evolutionary mechanisms shaping the
