Abstract excerpt
Human class II MHC genes are regulated in part by a series of conserved upstream sequence elements termed the X1, X2, and Y boxes. Class II MHC transcriptional mutant B cell lines have been defined that differ with regard to the presence of RFX, an X1 box DNA-binding activity. To further characterize these mutant cell lines, we tested the ability of these conserved upstream elements to respond to the presence of...
