Major Histocompatibility Complex–linked Control of Autoimmunity
A lthough the MHC is a key genetic component in au-toimmune disease, our knowledge of the mechanisms by which the molecules encoded within the MHC influence autoimmune processes remains incomplete. Because of the linkage disequilibrium that exists among the class I, II, and III genes within the HLA complex in humans and the homologous MHC complex in rodents, the absolute contribution of the ind...
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 کاملTolerance and autoimmunity to erythroid differentiation (B-G) major histocompatibility complex alloantigens of the chicken
Hematopoietic chimeras were produced at four different stages of ontogeny between two allogeneic strains of chickens. All chimeras produced by parabiosis at day 12 of embryogenesis and the majority (83%) of the ones produced at day 15 by intravenous injection of allogeneic stem cells remained healthy, chimeric, and specifically tolerant at both the humoral and cell-mediated level throughout a l...
متن کاملA Mechanism for the Major Histocompatibility Complex–linked Resistance to Autoimmunity
Certain major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II haplotypes encode elements providing either susceptibility or dominant resistance to the development of spontaneous autoimmune diseases via mechanisms that remain undefined. Here we show that a pancreatic beta cell-reactive, I-Ag7-restricted, transgenic TCR that is highly diabetogenic in nonobese diabetic mice (H-2(g7)) undergoes thymocyte...
متن کاملAssociation of Melasma with Thyroid Autoimmunity: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: Melasma is a common acquired hypermelanosis seen mainly in women which occurs on the sun-exposed skin of the face. The exact cause of melasma is unknown. The majority of the cases are attributed to pregnancy, combined oral contraceptive pills, genetic factors, sun exposure, use of cosmetic products, thyroid disorders and anti-convulsant drugs. This study was performed to evaluate ...
