A Case of Probable MHC Class II Deficiency with Disseminated BCGitis
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by abnormality of MHC class II molecules surface expression on peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes. Clinical manifestations include extreme susceptibility to viral, bacterial, and fungal infections but the immunodeficiency is not as severe as SCID (severe combined immunodeficien...
متن کاملSequences in both class II major histocompatibility complex alpha and beta chains contribute to the binding of the superantigen toxic shock syndrome toxin 1
Class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules present peptides derived from processed antigen to antigen-specific CD4-positive T cells. In addition, class II molecules bind with high affinity another class of antigens, termed superantigens. T cell stimulation by superantigens depends almost exclusively on the V beta segment expressed by the T cell receptor (TCR). Mapping of the supe...
متن کاملSequences in Both Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex ol and 3 Chains Contribute to the Binding of the Superantigen Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin 1 By Ned
Class II major histocompatibility complex (MFIC) molecules present peptides derived from processed antigen to antigen-specific CD4-positive T cells. In addition, class II molecules bind with high affinity another class of antigens, termed superantigens. T cell stimulation by superantigens depends almost exclusively on the V3 segment expressed by the T ceil receptor (TCR). Mapping of the superan...
متن کاملMajor histocompatibility complex class I molecule serves as a ligand for presentation of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B to T cells.
Superantigens, such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), elicit a strong proliferative response in T cells when presented in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. We observed a similar T-cell response, when MHC class II-negative epidermal cell lines were employed as antigen-presenting cells. Immunoprecipitation studies indicated that the ligand to which SEB...
متن کاملStaphylococcal Enterotoxin A Induces Small Clusters of HLA-DR1 on B Cells
The superantigen SEA causes non-specific hyperactivation of T and B cells at low concentrations. Studies of mutants or soluble proteins suggest SEA is bivalent for its ligand, MHC class II. However, the interaction between these molecules on intact cells is unknown. On primary mouse B cells expressing the MHC class II allele HLA-DR1, measurements of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer between HLA...
