Abstract excerpt
Precise regulation of MHC class II gene expression is crucial for development and function of the immune system. Class II trans-activator (CIITA) has been shown to be required for constitutive and IFN-gamma-induced MHC class II transcription. TNF-alpha is commonly coexpressed with IFN-gamma during immune-mediated inflammatory responses and modulates IFN-gamma-stimulated MHC class II expression. The effect of...
