Abstract excerpt
CIITA (class II transactivator) is a coactivator essential for transcription of MHC class II genes. In this study, a construct with a mutated CIITA gene with N-terminal domains depleted was constructed. This mutated CIITA (mCIITA) was able to repress DR and DQ expression in 45.0-60.0% of the mCIITA-transfected clones of swine endothelial cell line PIEC and in B cell line L23, as well as in human cell lines HeLa...
