The association of peptide fragments with MHC class I molecules is believed to be a requirement for the assembly of the MHC class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum, and transportation of the MHC molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. Recently, investigators have begun t

The transcriptional regulation of MHC class II genes involves the interaction of DNA-binding proteins with specific DNA sequences. The cis elements of the promoter region have now been well delineated functionally, while the proteins that interact with these elements are just beginning to be identif
Malignant transformation is often associated with genetic alterations providing tumor cells with mechanisms for escape from immune surveillance. Human and murine tumors of various origin as well as in vitro models of viral and oncogenic transformation express reduced levels of major histocompatibili
