Journal ArticleDOI

Complementation cloning of an MHC class II transactivator mutated in hereditary MHC class II deficiency (or bare lymphocyte syndrome)

TL;DR: The CIITA gene is essential for M HC class II gene expression and has been shown to be responsible for hereditary MHC class II deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of MHC class II expression by interferon-gamma mediated by the transactivator gene CIITA

TL;DR: It is shown that CIITA expression is controlled and induced by IFN-gamma and is a general regulator of both inducible and constitutive MHC class II expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bare lymphocyte syndrome and the regulation of MHC expression.

TL;DR: The study of RFX and CIITA has made major contributions to the comprehension of the molecular mechanisms controlling MHCII genes and has made this system into a textbook model for the regulation of gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

REGULATION OF MHC CLASS II GENES: Lessons from a Disease

TL;DR: The finding that RFX5 is a subunit of the nuclear RFX-complex has confirmed that a deficiency in the binding of this complex is indeed the molecular basis for MHC-II deficiency inThe majority of patients and made possible novel strategies designed to achieve immunomodulation via transcriptional intervention.
