Journal ArticleDOI
Charged collagen structure mediates the recognition of negatively charged macromolecules by macrophage scavenger receptors
Takefumi Doi,K Higashino,Yukiko Kurihara,Yoh Wada,Toru Miyazaki,Hironobu Nakamura,Seiichi Uesugi,Takeshi Imanishi,Yoshiki Kawabe,H Itakura +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that a "charged collagen" structure containing a lysine cluster forms a positively charged groove which specifically interacts with negatively charged ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct evidence for the contribution of the unique I-ANOD to the development of insulitis in non-obese diabetic mice
Toru Miyazaki,Masashi Uno,Masahiro Uehira,Hitoshi Kikutani,Tadamitsu Kishimoto,Masao Kimoto,Hirofumi Nishimoto,Junichi Miyazaki,Ken Ichi Yamamura +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that the single amino-acid substitution at position 57 of the I-A β-chain from aspartic acid to serine is not sufficient for the development of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of macrophages in antigen presentation and T cell tolerance
TL;DR: It is clearly demonstrated that macrophages by themselves are defective in efficient I-E restricted antigen presentation, so that T cells exposed to antigens expressed on macrophage are led to anergy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of autoimmune insulitis in nonobese diabetic mice by expression of major histocompatibility complex class I Ld molecules.
Toru Miyazaki,Yoichi Matsuda,Tetsushi Toyonaga,Junichi Miyazaki,Yoshio Yazaki,Ken Ichi Yamamura +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the NOD-type class I molecules are involved in the development of insulitis in NOD mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete prevention of diabetes in transgenic NOD mice expressing I-E molecules.
Masashi Uno,Toru Miyazaki,Masahiro Uehira,Hirofumi Nishimoto,Masao Kimoto,Junichi Miyazaki,Ken Ichi Yamamura +6 more
TL;DR: Transgenic NOD mice were resistant to the treatment by cyclophosphamide, which effectively induces diabetes in normal Nod mice, and did not develop diabetes up to 40 weeks of age and on the basis of these findings, the role of I-E molecules in the prevention of diabetes in N OD mice is discussed.
