Metal-derivatized Major Histocompatibility Complex: Zeroing in on Contact Hypersensitivity
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 ...
متن کاملAcquisition of murine major histocompatibility complex gene products by schistosomula of Schistosoma mansoni
Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula recovered from the lungs of inbred mice were shown to possess serologically detectable alloantigens on their tegumental surfaces. Using appropriate antisera and infected congenic and recombinant mice as worm donors, gene products of the K and I subregions of the major histocompatibility complex were demonstrated among these alloantigens acquired by the parasite...
متن کاملRole of IL-16 in delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction.
Interleukin (IL)-16 is a chemoattractant cytokine for CD4(+) leukocytes. Because delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction is mediated by T helper 1 (Th1) cells and CD4(+) T cells can be chemoattracted by IL-16, we have investigated the involvement of IL-16 in the DTH reaction. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the IL-16 expression in infiltrating cells and epithelial cells in the DTH fo...
متن کاملRole of endothelial heparanase in delayed-type hypersensitivity.
Heparanase is an endoglycosidase that cleaves heparan sulfate (HS), the main polysaccharide of the basement membrane (BM). HS is responsible for BM integrity and barrier function. Hence, enzymatic degradation of HS in the vascular subendothelial BM is a prerequisite for extravasation of immune cells and plasma components during inflammation. Here, we demonstrate a highly coordinated local hepar...
متن کاملThe role of major histocompatibility complex molecules in luteal function
Introduction One of the amazing features of the corpus luteum (CL) is the rapidity with which a very heterogeneous population of cells becomes organized into a functional unit. These diverse cells then communicate both directly and through paracrine mediators to facilitate the steroidogenic function and also the transient nature of the CL. Once the hormonal regulators of luteal function and dem...
