Chlamydia pneumoniae induces interleukin-10 production that down-regulates major histocompatibility complex class I expression.
Recently, it was demonstrated that CD8(+) T cells are important for the response against Chlamydia pneumoniae. By use of the human monocytic cell line U937 and human monocytes taken from peripheral blood, we investigated the effect of infection on various molecules critical for CD8(+) T cell function. A strong secretion of interleukin (IL)-10 by infected cells was observed, together with an inh...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex, Class I, B
Description The genes of the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system reside on chromosome 6, and code for cellsurface proteins that play a crucial role in the presentation of endogenic peptides to effector cells of the immune system. The HLA Class I protein molecule is a heterodimer, made up of two chains; a heavy one and a light one (beta 2 microglobulin). The HLA-B gene is one of the three HLA C...
متن کاملFrequency of Major Histocompatibility Antigens Class I in Mazandaran Province
Background and purpose: Major histocompatibility antigens are the most polymorphic components of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a population in Mazandaran province, Iran. Materials and methods: In a cross sectional study, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 550 people in Immunogenetics Research Center af...
متن کاملExpression Regulation of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I and Class II Encoding Genes
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I and MHC-II molecules play an essential role in the immune response to pathogens by virtue of their ability to present peptides to CD8⁺ and CD4⁺ T cells, respectively. Given this critical role, MHC-I and MHC-II genes are regulated in a tight fashion at the transcriptional level by a variety of transcription factors that interact with conserved cis-acting ...
متن کاملIgG Fc receptors that resemble class I major histocompatibility complex antigens.
(1) The intestinal Fc receptors of neonatal rats and mice consists of beta 2m and an alpha-chain that is similar to those of MHC class I and CD1 antigens. (2) Mouse and rat FcRns are highly conserved. There are no amino acid substitutions in the 90 amino acid alpha 3 domain, and only one in the 40 amino acid cytoplasmic tail. (3) Despite its similarity to class I MHC antigens, the mouse FcRn al...
