Abstract:

1. Blood transfusions improve renal allograft survival rates, but may induce antibodies which are directed to class I major histocompatibility complex antigens and mediate hyperacute transplant rejection. A model to study the development of such antibodies was developed in inbred strains of rats. 2. The influence of transplantation antigens shared between an initial course of blood transfusions, given with cyclosporin A, and a subsequent antigenic challenge (blood transfusion), given without cyclosporin A, on alloantibody responses to class I major histocompatibility complex antigens was then

Abstract:

The transplant of organs is one of the greatest therapeutic achievements of the twentieth century. In organ transplantation, the adaptive immunity is considered the main response exerted to the transplanted tissue, since the principal target of the immune response is the MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules expressed on the surface of donor cells. However, we should not forget that the innate and adaptive immunities are closely interrelated and should be viewed as complementary and cooperating. When a human transplant is performed, HLA (human leukocyte antigens) molecules from a do

Abstract:

Monoclonal antibodies and alloantisera were used in an indirect immunohistochemical assay to determine the expression of class I and class II Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) antigens by equine placental cells and the endometrial tissues at the fetal-maternal interface. MHC class I antigens were expressed at high density on the surface of the trophoblast cells of the chorionic girdle at days 32–36, just prior to their invasion of the endometrium. The mature gonadotrophin-secreting cells of the endometrial cups, which are derived from the chorionic girdle cells, had greatly reduced levels

Abstract:

Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class II molecules is essential for antibody production and T cell activation. For most class II alleles, peptide binding depends on the catalytic action of human histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLA)-DM. HLA-DO is selectively expressed in B cells and impedes the activity of DM, yet its physiological role remains unclear. Cell surface iodination assays and mass spectrometry of major histocompatibility complex class II–eluted peptides show that DO affects the antigenic peptide repertoire of class II.

We report that a peptide from the B chain of insulin, B(10-30), binds with high affinity to multiple class II proteins, including IAb,d,k, IEd,k, and DR1. The ability of B(10-30) to inhibit the binding of other peptide antigens to class II does not correlate with its affinity for class II. B(10-30) only weakly inhibits the binding of antigenic peptides. Conversely, peptides with high affinity for the peptide-binding groove of various class II proteins do not inhibit B(10-30) binding. The rate of association of B(10-30) with class II is unusually rapid, approaching saturation in 1-2 h compared

Abstract:

Transgenic mice expressing human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules would provide a valuable model system for studying human immunology. However, attempts to obtain human class II-restricted T cell responses in such transgenic mice have had only limited success, possibly due to an inability of mouse CD4 to interact efficiently with human MHC class II molecules. To circumvent this problem, we constructed recombinant MHC class II genes in which the peptide-binding domain was derived from human DR sequences whereas the CD4-binding domain was derived from mouse I-E sequences

Abstract:

Stimulation of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes by antigen-presenting cells requires the degradation of exogenous antigens into antigenic peptides which associate with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules in endosomal or lysosomal compartments. B lymphocytes mediate efficient antigen presentation first by capturing soluble antigens through clonally distributed antigen receptors (BCRs), composed of membrane immunoglobulin (Ig) associated with Ig-α/Ig-β heterodimers which, second, target antigens to MHC class II–containing compartments. We report that antigen internalization and an

Abstract:

Presentation of exogenous protein antigens to T lymphocytes is based on the intersection of two complex pathways: (a) synthesis, assembly, and transport of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-invariant chain complexes from the endoplasmic reticulum to a specialized endosomal compartment, and (b) endocytosis, denaturation, and proteolysis of antigens followed by loading of antigenic peptides onto newly synthesized MHC class II molecules. It is believed that expression of MHC class II heterodimers, invariant chain and human leukocyte antigen-DM is both necessary and sufficient to rec

Abstract:

Abstract A quantitative model is developed to explore the effects of prezygotic and postzygotic incompatibility on the origin and maintenance of associations between the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and the t-complex in the mouse. Incompatibility is represented by a reduction in the rate of conception or gestation of offspring derived from sperm bearing MHC antigens in common with the mother. Incompatibility encourages the evolution of associations from a state of complete independence between the two complexes by promoting the invasion of all novel antigens, including those that exh

Abstract:

One of the important components of the immune system, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules allow T-lymphocytes to detect cells, such as macrophages, B-lymphocytes, and dendritic cells that ingest infectious microorganisms or the self-cells infected with microorganism. On being engulfed a microorganism, macrophage partially digests it and displays peptide fragments of the microbe on its surface, bound to MHC molecules and the T-lymphocyte recognizes the foreign fragment attached to the MHC molecule and binds to it, lead to stimulation of an immune response. The MHC molecule pres

Abstract:

ABSTRACT To better understand interactions between the intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila and macrophages (Mφs), host and bacterial determinants important for presentation of antigens on major histocompatibility complex class II molecules (MHC-II) were investigated. It was determined that immune CD4 T-cell responses to murine bone marrow-derived Mφs (BMφs) infected with wild-type L. pneumophila were higher than the responses to avirulent dotA mutant bacteria. Although this enhanced response by immune T cells required modulation of vacuole transport mediated by the Dot/Icm system, it

Abstract:

1. Major histocompatibility complex class II antigens have the central role in the immune response of ‘presenting’ antigenic peptide to CD4+ T-cells. This interaction with a T-cell's receptor may result in activation, but, if recognition occurs without collateral molecular interactions which cause ‘co-stimulation’, these T-cells will be tolerized. 2. In the light of current interest in muscle cell transplantation, a transformed myoblast, TE671, phenotypically comparable to untransformed cells, transfected to express class II, was studied as a stable model of antigen presentation by muscle cell
