The aim of this study was to determine whether the expressions of MHC class I and II in the ovarian follicles change with follicular growth and aging of birds. Theca layer of white follicles (WF), the largest and the third largest preovulatory follicles

Contrasting patterns of selection between MHC I and II across populations of Humboldt and Magellanic penguins [PDF]
Indexación: Web of ScienceThe evolutionary and adaptive potential of populations or species facing an emerging infectious disease depends on their genetic diversity in genes, such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In birds, MHC class I deals

Functional consequences of the binding of MHC class ll-derived peptides to MHC class II [PDF]
Three MHC class II-derived synthetic peptides (I-A beta (g7)1-16, I-A beta (g7)52-77 and I-A alpha (g7)63-82YC) were analyzed for their ability to bind to syngeneic and allogeneic MHC class II molecules using a whole cell, competitive peptide binding assay.

Mice lacking the MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) show tissue-specific impairment of MHC class II expression [PDF]
CIITA activates the expression of multiple genes involved in antigen presentation and it is believed to be required for both constitutive and IFN\xce\xb3-inducible expression of these genes.

Induction of MHC Class I Expression by the MHC Class II Transactivator CIITA [PDF]
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I–deficient cell lines were used to demonstrate that the MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) can induce surface expression of MHC class I molecules. CIITA induces the promoter of MHC class I heavy chain genes. The site α DNA element is the target for CIITA-induced transactivation of class I.

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 ...

Footprints of antigen processing boost MHC class II natural ligand predictions
Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules present peptide fragments to T cells for immune recognition. Current predictors for peptide to MHC-II binding are trained on binding affinity data, generated in vitro and therefore lacking ...

MHC class II tetramers made from isolated recombinant α and β chains refolded with affinity-tagged peptides. [PDF]
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.

Costimulatory molecule-deficient dendritic cell progenitors (MHC class II+, CD80(dim), CD86-) prolong cardiac allograft survival in nonimmunosuppressed recipients [PDF]
We have shown previously that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived MHC class II+ dendritic cell (DC) progenitors that are deficient in cell surface expression of the costimulatory molecules B7-1 (CD8O) and
