HLA-G gene repression is reversed by demethylation

Abstract excerpt

The HLA-G molecule plays an important role in immune tolerance, protecting the fetus from maternal immune attack, and probably contributes to graft tolerance and tumor escape from the host immune system. HLA-G expression is tightly regulated and involves mechanisms acting in part at the transcriptional level. Nevertheless, almost all regulatory sequences that govern constitutive and inducible HLA class I gene...
