A nonpolymorphic class I gene in the murine major histocompatibility complex.
DNA sequence analysis of a class I gene (Q10), which maps to the Qa2,3 locus in the C57BL/10 (H-2b haplotype) mouse, reveals that it is almost identical to a cDNA clone (pH16) isolated from a SWR/J (H-2q haplotype) mouse liver cDNA library. Exon 5, in particular, has an unusual structure such that a polypeptide product is unlikely to be anchored in the cell membrane. Our findings suggest that t...
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 کاملA nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex class Ib molecule binds a large array of diverse self-peptides
Unlike the highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ia molecules, which present a wide variety of peptides to T cells, it is generally assumed that the nonpolymorphic MHC class Ib molecules may have evolved to function as highly specialized receptors for the presentation of structurally unique peptides. However, a thorough biochemical analysis of one class Ib molecule, th...
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 کاملDown-regulation of major histocompatibility complex class I synthesis by murine cytomegalovirus early gene expression.
Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection of C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice prevents priming of antigen-specific helper and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) (J. S. Slater, W. S. Futch, V. J. Cavanaugh, and A. E. Campbell, Virology 185:132-139, 1991). In vitro, MCMV infection alters presentation of antigens to antigen-specific, MHC class I-restricted CTL (A. E. Campbell, J. S. Slater, V. J. Cavanaugh, and R. M....
