Messenger RNA expression of major histocompatibility complex class II genes in whole blood from septic shock patients*
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The decreased expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR on monocytes is proposed as a major feature of sepsis-induced immunodepression. The objective of the present study was to investigate, in whole blood from septic shock patients, the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of a gene panel, which is essential to ensure major histocompatibility complex class II protein structure, transport, and peptide...
