## Regulation of transcription of MHC class II genes Jeremy M Boss Genetic and biochemical analyses have identified multiple DNA-binding and non-DNA-binding proteins that functionally regulate MHC class II genes. These include RFX, X2BP, NF-Y, CIITA, OCT-2 and Bob1. One of the essential non-DNA-bi

β¦ Synopsis
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 identified and their functional importance assessed.

Tumor cells frequently show a lack of surface class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen expression. These molecules are key recognition structures for immune rejection of tumor cells and their absence at the surface of tumor cells could favor the progression of tumors. We have analyzed
