Frequency 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 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 کاملAnalysis of genetic polymorphisms in the major histocompatibility complex of Japanese quail.
The restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of the Japanese quail MHC were assayed in seven lines using PvuII-digested DNA and a chicken Class II probe. The lines of Japanese quail surveyed included a randombred control population (R1) and sublines of R1 divergently selected for 4-wk body weight (HW and LW lines) or plasma yolk precursor as measured by total plasma phosphorus (TPP) (HP...
متن کاملGene conversion of the major histocompatibility complex class I Caja‐G in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)
Currently, the amount of sequenced and classified MHC class I genes of the common marmoset is limited, in spite of the wide use of this species as an animal model for biomedical research. In this study, 480 clones of MHC class I G locus (Caja-G) cDNA sequences were obtained from 21 common marmosets. Up to 10 different alleles were detected in each common marmoset, leading to the assumption that...
متن کاملTwo upstream elements activate transcription of a major histocompatibility complex class I gene in vitro.
Expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes exhibits unique tissue and developmental specificity. In an effort to study molecular mechanisms of MHC class I gene regulation, an in vitro transcription system has been established. In B cell nuclear extracts a template DNA containing the mouse H-2Ld promoter sequence accurately directed RNA polymerase II-dependent transcripti...
