Haplessly hoping: macaque major histocompatibility complex made easy.
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene products control the repertoire of T cell responses that an individual may create against pathogens and foreign tissues. This text will review the current understanding of MHC genetics in nonhuman primates, with a focus on Mauritian-origin cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and Indian-origin rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). These closely relat...
متن کاملThe major histocompatibility complex.
The major histocompatibility complex on the sixth chromosome controls expression of a complex series of cell surface antigens which comprise the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. These markers, beyond their importance in human organ transplantation, have been demonstrated to occur with an increased prevalence in certain disease states. The group of conditions showing the closest association...
متن کاملPorcine major histocompatibility complex.
The major histocompatibility complex in swine (swine leucocyte antigen: SLA) is located on chromosome 7 with the class I and class III regions separated by the centromere from the class II region. The overall molecular organisation of the class I and III regions is well known, but further research is needed to establish that of the class II region. Approximately sixty genes have been characteri...
متن کاملFacet Graphs: Complex Semantic Querying Made Easy
While the Semantic Web is rapidly filling up, appropriate tools for searching it are still at infancy. In this paper we describe an approach that allows humans to access information contained in the Semantic Web according to its semantics and thus to leverage the specific characteristic of this Web. To avoid the ambiguity of natural language queries, users only select already defined attributes...
متن کاملMetal-derivatized Major Histocompatibility Complex
One of the prices we pay for our love of jewelry is allergic contact hypersensitivity to metal, an autoimmune condition that variably afflicts around 10% of all Caucasians (1). Contact hypersensitivity is a classic type IV DTH (delayed type hypersensitivity) response, involving primed T cells that are specific for metal modified antigens generated at a local site in the body (most commonly the ...
