Human cytomegalovirus down-regulates HLA class I expression by reducing the stability of class I H chains.
1 Nov 1993
Abstract excerpt
Human CMV (HCMV) infection leads to an almost complete inhibition of expression of MHC class I proteins. After infection with HCMV, the biosynthesis of HLA class I molecules was examined in human lung fibroblasts and in mouse fibroblasts transfected with genes encoding the human class I H chain HLA-B27 and human beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m). In both cell types, we observed a large decrease in steady state...
