## Abstract The expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, class II, CD1a, and CD 83 in dendritic cells (DCs) after infection with human herpesvirus 6 (HHVβ6) was examined. Whereas there was no significant change in the expression of CD1a, CD83, and MHC class II in infected DCs,

The localization of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in human endometrial and endocervical epithelial cells was studied with an immunogold technique on ultrathin cryosections. At the cell surface, MHC class I molecules are delivered solely to the basolateral plasma membrane in human epithelia. Therefore, only the basolateral domain of epithelial cells is capable of presenting antigen to MHC class I-restricted cytotoxic T cells.

The expression of the major histocompatibility complex Class I antigens (Class I) was investigated in the nervous system of twitcher (C57BL/6J-twi), a murine model of Krabbe disease in humans. Class I mRNA expression was low in wild type and in twitcher mice prior to the onset of demyelination. Howe
