1. Investigation of MHC gamma block C4A and C4B polymorphisms in unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
ABSTRACT Background: Immunological life-threatening complications frequently occur in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), despite matching recipient and donor (R/D) pairs for classical human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Studies have shown that R/D non-HLA disparities within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are associated with adverse

2. Comparative study of lymphocytes from individuals that were vaccinated and unvaccinated against the pandemic 2009-2011 H1N1 influenza virus in Southern Brazil
ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION:While no single factor is sufficient to guarantee the success of influenza vaccine programs, knowledge of the levels of immunity in local populations is critical. Here, we analyzed influenza immunity in a population from Southern Brazil, a region with weather conditions that are distinct from those in the rest of country, where influenza

3. Receptor expression and responsiveness of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells to a human cytomegalovirus encoded CC chemokine
Human cytomegalovirus is a ubiquitous pathogen that infects the majority of the world's population. After long period of time co-evolving with human being, this pathogen has developed several strategies to evade host immune surveillance. One of the major trick is encoding homologous to those of the host organism or stealing host cellular genes that have sign

4. The role of KIR2DL3/HLA-C*0802 in Brazilian patients with rheumatoid vasculitis
OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis is a polygenically controlled systemic autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid vasculitis is an important extra-articular phenotype of rheumatoid arthritis that can result in deep cutaneous ulcers. The objective of this study was to establish a correlation between the frequency of major histocompatibility complex class I/II alleles a

5. Análise molecular de polimorfismos nos genes HLA-ClASSE II DRB1* e IL7R? possivelmente associados com a susceptibilidade à esclerose múltipla em uma amostra da população do Rio de Janeiro
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects mainly young adults. MS seems to be a polygenic and multifactorial disease, and genetic susceptibility has been associated mainly with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which in humans is the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Among non-

6. Delivery of the Sox9 gene promotes chondrogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells in an in vitro model
SRY-related high-mobility-group box 9 (Sox9) gene is a cartilage-specific transcription factor that plays essential roles in chondrocyte differentiation and cartilage formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of genetic delivery of Sox9 to enhance chondrogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem ce

7. A human astrocytoma cell line is highly susceptible to infection with Trypanosoma cruzi
Astrocytes play a vital role in neuronal protection, homeostasis, vascular interchange and the local immune response. Some viruses and parasites can cross the blood-brain barrier and infect glia. Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of Chagas disease, can seriously compromise the central nervous system, mainly in immune-suppressed individuals, but also

8. Importance of immune response genes in hemophilia A
Hemophilia A is a disease caused by a deficiency of coagulation factor VIII resulting from genetic inheritance linked to chromosome X. One treatment option is the administration of plasma or recombinant FVIII. However, some patients develop inhibitors or antibodies against this factor. Inhibitors are alloantibodies that bind to the epitope of factor VIII cau

9. Recombination and Genetic Diversity
In this paper we present a spatial stochastic model for genetic recombination, that answers if diversity is preserved in an infinite population of recombinat-ing individuals distributed spatially. We show that, for finite times, recombination may maintain all the various potential different types, but when time grows infinitely, the diversity of individuals

10. Skeletal muscle major histocompatibility complex class I and II expression differences in adult and juvenile dermatomyositis
OBJECTIVE: To analyze major histocompatibility complex expression in the muscle fibers of juvenile and adult dermatomyositis. METHOD: In total, 28 untreated adult dermatomyositis patients, 28 juvenile dermatomyositis patients (Bohan and Peter's criteria) and a control group consisting of four dystrophic and five Pompe's disease patients were analyzed. Routin

11. Association of MICA gene polymorphisms with liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis patients in the Dongting Lake region
Major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related A (MICA) is a highly polymorphic gene located within the MHC class I region of the human genome. Expressed as a cell surface glycoprotein, MICA modulates immune surveillance by binding to its cognate receptor on natural killer cells, NKG2D, and its genetic polymorphisms have been recently associated with

12. Tratamento com taurina e interferon beta influencia a expressão do complexo de histocompatibilidade principal de classe I (MHC I) e a formação de sinapses em células PC12 / Interferon beta and taurine treatment induce major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) upregulation and synapse plasticity in PC12 cells
It has been demonstrated that MHC I up regulation by exogenous treatment with interferon beta (IFN beta) influences the glial reaction and the synaptic elimination process. Also, the amino acid taurine has been shown to positively influence neuronal survival and plasticity. Nevertheless, the establishment of an in vitro model for studying the synaptic format
