Major histocompatibility complex regulation of the immune response

The ability of an organism to distinguish self from nonself is determined by a cluster of genes located in the major histocompatibility complex. Recent advances in molecular genetics and cellular immunology have begun to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for immune response regulation. In this review article, the genetic organization of the murine and human major histocompatibility complexes and the manner by which their gene products modulate immune responsiveness are discussed.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/25606/1/0000153.pd

Aldonate coupling, a simple procedure for the preparation of carbohydrate-protein conjugates for studies of carbohydrate-binding proteins

Aldonate coupling a new, high-yield method for conjugation of reducing oligosaccharides to proteins is described. It involves oxidation of the oligosaccharides to their corresponding aldonic acids followed by coupling to amino functions of proteins by activation of carboxyl groups with a water-soluble carbodiimide derivative. The immunochemical properties of some of these synthetic glycoproteins were assessed using several plant agglutinins (lectins) as well as antibodies raised to the conjugates. The scope and limitation of the method are discussed.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21712/1/0000104.pd

The relationship of the major murine histocompatibility region associated IA antigens to mitogen responses

Genes located in the I region of the H-2 complex control a system of lymphocyte alloantigens (Ia) which are expressed on subpopulations of T and B cells. Specific anti-Ia serum plus rabbit complement removed the B-lymphocyte population responsive to the mitogen LPS and the subpopulation of T cells responsive to Con-A. Lymphocytes sensitive to PHA or leucoagglutinin were not removed by anti-Ia serum and complement. Significant inhibition of the proliferative response to LPS was also obtained by brief periods of cell pretreatment with anti-Ia antibodies without complement. This inhibition was specific with the appropriate anti-Ia serum and did not occur with anti-H-2K sera or when cells of a different I region were pretreated.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21764/1/0000158.pd

Con A induced suppressor cells: Suppression with I region incompatibility

Allogeneic Con A induced suppressor cells differing in the I and S region but not H-2K or H-2D regions were as efficient as syngeneic cells in suppressing the secondary IgM and IgG response to burro erythrocytes. Con A activated suppressor cells were not sensitive to anti-Ia serum and complement. However, if the spleen cell population was treated with anti-Ia serum and complement before stimulation with Con A, suppressor cells were not generated.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/22960/1/0000527.pd

Mother-child histocompatibility and risk of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus among mothers.

The study objective was to test the hypothesis that having histocompatible children increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly by contributing to the persistence of fetal cells acquired during pregnancy. We conducted a case control study using data from the UC San Francisco Mother Child Immunogenetic Study and studies at the Inova Translational Medicine Institute. We imputed human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags). We created a variable of exposure to histocompatible children. We estimated an average sequence similarity matching (SSM) score for each mother based on discordant mother-child alleles as a measure of histocompatibility. We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals. A total of 138 RA, 117 SLE, and 913 control mothers were analyzed. Increased risk of RA was associated with having any child compatible at HLA-B (OR 1.9; 1.2-3.1), DPB1 (OR 1.8; 1.2-2.6) or DQB1 (OR 1.8; 1.2-2.7). Compatibility at mHag ZAPHIR was associated with reduced risk of SLE among mothers carrying the HLA-restriction allele B*07:02 (n = 262; OR 0.4; 0.2-0.8). Our findings support the hypothesis that mother-child histocompatibility is associated with risk of RA and SLE
