An interferon gamma-regulated protein that binds the interferon-inducible enhancer element of major histocompatibility complex class I genes.
Interferons (IFNs) induce transcription of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes through the conserved IFN consensus sequence (ICS) that contains an IFN response motif shared by many IFN-regulated genes. By screening mouse lambda ZAP expression libraries with the ICS as a probe, we isolated a cDNA clone encoding a protein that binds the ICS, designated ICSBP. Protein blot analysi...
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 کاملSelectively down-regulated expression of major histocompatibility complex class I alleles in human solid tumors.
We studied the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule in 52 ex-vivo tumor samples comprising 29 ovarian, 15 lung, 1 breast, and 4 colon carcinomas; 1 midgut carcinoid; and 2 malignant mesenchymal tumors obtained from surgical specimens or from malignant effusions. The allelic products were visualized in untreated and interferon gamma + tumor necrosis factor alpha ...
متن کاملChlamydia Inhibits Interferon γ–inducible Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Expression by Degradation of Upstream Stimulatory Factor 1
We report that chlamydiae, which are obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens, can inhibit interferon (IFN)-gamma-inducible major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression. However, the IFN-gamma-induced IFN regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) expression is not affected, suggesting that chlamydia may selectively target the IFN-gamma signaling ...
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...
