Abstract excerpt
Dominant-negative mutants of class II transactivator (mCIITAs) with N-terminal depletion have been used to repress the transcription of class II genes in xenotransplantation. Here, we report that mCIITA overexpressing myeloid cell line Ana-1 (Ana-1-mCIITA) derived from a C57BL/6 mouse was able to down-regulate the MHC class II expression and reverse immune responses from Th1 (IL-2(+)IFN-γ(+)STAT4(+)) to Th2...
