## Abstract We first classified 12 malignant glioma cell lines into three different groups (types 1–3) with respect to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression and analyzed each group based on the different expression status of the class II transactivator (CIITA) gene. Glioma type
## Abstract MHC class II‐mediated antigen presentation by B lymphocytes or dendritic cells (DC) initiates CD4^+^ T lymphocyte activation. In B lymphocytes, MHC class II peptide presentation has been characterised by recruitment of MHC class II, F‐actin and lipid rafts to the B cell–T cell immunolog
In order to develop an effective immunotherapy for hematological malignancies, we investigated the applicability of class II transactivator (CIITA), which had been demonstrated to regulate the expression of MHC class II (MHC-II) by assembling the transcription factors of MHC-II molecules, for immuno
