1. Imunolocalização e alterações patológicas induzidas pela infecção por Strongyloides venezuelensis em camundongos geneticamente deficientes em MHC de classe I ou II
In the present study, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the immune response of Major Histocompatibility Complex class I or class II knockout mice (MHC I-/- or MHC II-/-), after S. venezuelensis infection. Wild-type C57BL/6 (WT), MHC II -/- and MHC I -/- mice were individually inoculated with 3.000 larvae (L3) of Strongyloides venezuelensis and sacri

3. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II but not MHC class I molecules are required for efficient control of Strongyloides venezuelensis infection in mice
Strongyloides stercoralis is an intestinal nematode capable of chronic, persistent infection and hyperinfection of the host; this can lead to dissemination, mainly in immunosuppressive states, in which the infection can become severe and result in the death of the host. In this study, we investigated the immune response against Strongyloides venezuelensis in

4. Autoimmunity associated with TGF-beta1-deficiency in mice is dependent on MHC class II antigen expression.
The progressive inflammatory process found in transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1)-deficient mice is associated with several manifestations of autoimmunity, including circulating antibodies to nuclear antigens, immune complex deposition, and increased expression of both class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. The contrib

5. Donor MHC and adhesion molecules in transplant arteriosclerosis
Transplant-associated arteriosclerosis remains an obstacle to long-term graft survival. To determine the contribution to transplant arteriosclerosis of MHC and adhesion molecules from cells of the donor vasculature, we allografted carotid artery loops from six mutant mouse strains into immunocompetent CBA/CaJ recipients. The donor mice were deficient in eith

6. Peripheral tolerance to allogeneic class II histocompatibility antigens expressed in transgenic mice: evidence against a clonal-deletion mechanism.
To examine the effects of aberrant expression of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins on tolerance development, transgenic mice expressing the I-Ad genes under control of the pancreatic elastase promoter were produced. Such transgenic mice express I-Ad exclusively on exocrine pancreas, without expression in thymus or by lymphocytes. No sp

7. Altered I-J phenotype in E alpha transgenic mice.
One of the more intriguing puzzles in immunology is the genetic basis for control of murine T-cell I-J determinants. Molecules bearing I-J determinants (I-J molecules) play a role in information trafficking among immunocompetent cells, probably serving as self-recognition molecules that channel regulatory factors to their appropriate target cells. Although i

8. Thymocyte development in major histocompatibility complex-deficient mice: evidence for stochastic commitment to the CD4 and CD8 lineages.
The mechanism resulting in commitment of precursor cells in the thymus to either the CD4 or CD8 lineage remains poorly understood. In principle, this may reflect a stochastic process or may reflect instructional signals from host major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. We have examined the role of MHC products in subset commitment by using mice def

9. The role of MHC class II molecules in susceptibility to type I diabetes: Identification of peptide epitopes and characterization of the T cell repertoire
Susceptibility to type I diabetes is linked to class II MHC alleles in both mouse and man. However, the molecular mechanisms by which MHC molecules mediate disease susceptibility are unknown. To analyze how I-A alleles predispose to, or prevent, the development of type I diabetes, we have chosen, as the first step, to investigate the immune response to an im

10. Autologous CD4 T-cell responses to ectopic class II major histocompatibility complex antigen-expressing single-cell islet cells: an in vitro insight into the pathogenesis of lymphocytic insulitis in nonobese diabetic mice.
We investigated by flow cytometric analysis the expression of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules by viable single-cell islet cells (SCICs) prepared from male and female 4- and 10-week-old nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse islets. With anti-I-Ak monoclonal antibody (specific for I-Ak,f,r,s beta and produced by clone 11-5-2), and fluorescein

11. Genetic Dissection of Primary and Secondary Responses to a Widespread Natural Pathogen of the Gut, Eimeria vermiformis
Because most pathogens initially challenge the body at epithelial surfaces, it is important to dissect the mechanisms that underlie T-cell responses to infected epithelial cells in vivo. The coccidian parasites of the genus Eimeria are protozoan gut pathogens that elicit a potent, protective immune response in a wide range of host species. CD4+ αβ T cells

12. Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Precursor Frequencies in BALB/c Mice after Acute Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection or Immunization with a Formalin-Inactivated RSV Vaccine
A better understanding of the immune response to live and formalin-inactivated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is important for developing nonlive vaccines. In this study, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I- and II-restricted, RSV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) frequencies were determined in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sample
