Analysis of polymorphism of MHC class II BuLA DRB3 exon 2 gene in North West Iranian populations of the Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) through PCR-SSCP
The DRB3 gene is a highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II gene and plays an important role in variability of immune responsiveness and disease resistance. In the present study, the MHC class II DRB3 gene in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) populations from Northwest regions of Iran was investigated through PCR-SSCP. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples c...
متن کاملExpression and function of a nonglycosylated major histocompatibility class I antigen
The major histocompatibility class I antigens, expressed in most somatic cells, have carbohydrate moieties. We constructed mutant mouse MHC class I genes in which codons for the N-linked glycosylation sites were replaced by those of other amino acids. L cell transformants expressing the nonglycosylated class I antigens allowed us to investigate biological roles of carbohydrates with the highest...
متن کاملA Case of Probable MHC Class II Deficiency with Disseminated BCGitis
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by abnormality of MHC class II molecules surface expression on peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes. Clinical manifestations include extreme susceptibility to viral, bacterial, and fungal infections but the immunodeficiency is not as severe as SCID (severe combined immunodeficien...

In last few years, numerous observations and studies on pathogenesis of spondyloarthropathies have been published and an animal model which confirms the associations of new information is now available. Bacteria which are responsible for reactive arthritis all can remain in the cells for long time. Molecules of class I MHC are able to present the intracellular peptides to immune system. B27 mol...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus and Cancer - Immunological Consequences of MHC Class I Down-Regulation
Few studies have been conducted on the causative factors associated with the development of cancer. Infection by high risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been implicated as causative agents in a variety of cancers. HPV is capable of evading immune system and establishing persistent infections. Prolonged infection and lesion maintenance are associated with higher risk of neoplastic progressi...
متن کاملOral tolerance for delayed type hypersensitivity contribution of local and peripheral mechanisms
Oral tolerance is a physiological immune mechanism, which controls the outcome of deleterious hypersensitivity reactions to environmental antigens absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and maintains homeostasis. Using a mouse model of oral tolerance of delayed type hypersensitivity to contact allergens, i.e. haptens, we have examined the mechanisms involved in the induction of oral toler...
