Abstract excerpt
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II proteins (HLA-DR, HLA-DP and HLA-DQ) play a fundamental role in the regulation of the immune response. The level of expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II antigens is regulated by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and depends on the status of class II trans-activator protein (CIITA), a co-activator of the MHC class II gene promoter. In this study, we...
