A 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...
متن کاملInduction of tolerance against the arthritogenic antigen with type-II collagen peptide-linked soluble MHC class II molecules
In murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), self-reactive T cells can recognize peptide antigens derived from type-II collagen (CII). Activation of T cells is an important mediator of autoimmune diseases. Thus, T cells have become a focal point of study to treat autoimmune diseases. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of recombinant MHC class II molecules in the regulation of antigen-speci...
متن کاملDesign of Glycopeptides Used to Investigate Class II MHC Binding and T-Cell Responses Associated with Autoimmune Arthritis
The glycopeptide fragment CII259-273 from type II collagen (CII) binds to the murine A(q) and human DR4 class II Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC II) proteins, which are associated with development of murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), respectively. It has been shown that CII259-273 can be used in therapeutic vaccination of CIA. This glycopeptide also el...
متن کاملMHC class II derived recombinant T cell receptor ligands protect DBA/1LacJ mice from collagen-induced arthritis.
We previously demonstrated the therapeutic effects of MHC class II derived recombinant T cell receptor ligands (RTL), single-chain two domain complexes of the alpha1 and beta1 domains of MHC class II molecules genetically linked with an immunodominant peptide, in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. In the current study, we produced a monomeric murine I-Aq-derived RTL construct covalently...
متن کاملT cell recognition of carbohydrates on type II collagen
A critical event in an immune response is the T cell recognition of peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of an antigen presenting cell (APC). Although the majority of eukaryotic proteins are glycosylated, it has not yet been shown that T cell recognition of such proteins involves recognition of the bound carbohydrates. Type II collagen (CII), the maj...
