Inactivation of Eα and Eβ expression in inbred and wild mice by multiple distinct mutations, some of which predate speciation within Mus species [PDF]
The H-2 MHC of mice encodes two functional class II heterodimeric proteins: AαAβ (A) and EαEβ (E). While failure to express the A protein has not been reported, a significant proportion of of H-2 haplotypes In both Inbred and wild mice do not express E ...

Bone: the final frontier for Staphylococcus aureus penetration in chronic rhinosinusitis [PDF]
The superantigenic properties of Staphylococcus aureus have been implicated in increasing the inflammatory process in airway diseases. Local formation of IgE antibodies against staphylococcal enterotoxins by secondary lymphoid tissue in nasal polyps has ...

Narcolepsy: autoimmunity, effector T cell activation due to infection, or T cell independent, major histocompatibility complex class II induced neuronal loss? [PDF]
Human narcolepsy with cataplexy is a neurological disorder, which develops due to a deficiency in hypocretin producing neurons in the hypothalamus. There is a strong association with human leucocyte antigens HLA-DR2 and HLA-DQB1*0602.

Interleukin 4, but not interleukin 5 or eosinophils, is required in a murine model of acute airway hyperreactivity. [PDF]
Reversible airway hyperreactivity underlies the pathophysiology of asthma, yet the precise mediators of the response remain unclear. Human studies have correlated aberrant activation of T helper (Th) 2-like effector systems in the airways with disease. A
