II diversity of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations across their range Q Lau, W Jaratlerdsiri, JE Griffith, J Gongora and DP Higgins Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) genes code for proteins that bind and present antigenic peptides and trigger the adaptive immune response....
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes code for key proteins of the adaptive immune system, which present antigens from intra-cellular (MHC class I) and extra-cellular (MHC class II) pathogens. Because of their unprecedented diversity, MHC genes have long been an object of scientific ...

RFX1 is a transacting DNA-binding regulatory factor involved in the control of MHC class II gene expression. RFX2 is a structurally very similar protein with identical DNA binding features. A member of the family of RFX factors is affected in an autosomal recessive disease, MHC class II defici...
Our studies failed to demonstrate significant association between class II HLA alleles and the outcome of HCV infection: chronic viremia versus spontaneous viral clearance. Our results suggest that the genes responsible for the outcome are unknown, so far, and those HLA associations reported in ...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes (HLA-DR and HLA-DQB) and the genetic susceptibility to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) in Mexican patients. The HLA-DR and DQB alleles were analyzed in 53 ...

Metastatic clones of murine tumors that manifest impaired expression of class I MHC antigens do not induce an antitumor CTL activity. Transfection of H-2Kb genes into D122 carcinoma and B16 melanoma clones converted these cells to low metastatic immunogenic clones that can be used to protect in...
