TLDR
Evidence that A beta 2 is transcribed in spleen and in a cultured B cell hybridoma is presented, suggesting that B cells and macrophages regulate the expression of the class II genes by distinct mechanisms.

Mice lacking MHC class II molecules

TL;DR: Some old ideas about lymphocyte differentiation have been confirmed, but some surprises are provided: a lack of germinal centers, fewer IgM+IgD+ cells in certain individuals, reduced production of serum IgG1, and complete inability to respond to T-dependent antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice lacking the MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) show tissue-specific impairment of MHC class II expression

TL;DR: CIITA-deficient (-/-) mice do not express conventional MHC class II molecules on the surface of splenic B cells and dendritic cells and are impaired in T-dependent antigen responses and MHCclass II-mediated allogeneic responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes and tolerance in transgenic mice expressing class II MHC molecules in pancreatic beta cells.

TL;DR: Novel expression of Class II MHC molecules on nonlymphoid cells is by itself insufficient to initiate autoimmune responses against tissue-specific antigens, and T lymphocytes appeared to be tolerant to the transgene I-Eb molecule.

Negative Regulation by HLA-DO of MHC Class II-Restricted Antigen Processing

TL;DR: Expression of HLA-DO in a class II+ and DM+, DO- human T cell line caused the accumulation of class II-CLIP complexes, indicating that Hla-DO blocked DM function in vivo and suggesting that HLA-DO is an important modulator ofclass II-restricted antigen processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered Antigen Presentation in Mice Lacking H2-O

TL;DR: Analysis of antigen presentation by B cells from mice lacking H2-O, together with biochemical analysis using purified HLA-DO and Hla-DM molecules, suggests that HLA’s role in peptide loading may be affected, which may serve to decrease the presentation of antigens internalized by fluid-phase endocytosis, thus concentrating the B cell-mediated antigen presentation to antigeninternalized by membrane immunoglobulin.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic sequencing

TL;DR: The genomic sequencing procedures are applicable to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms, DNA methylation at deoxycytidines, and nucleic acid-protein interactions at single nucleotide resolution.

Efficient in vitro synthesis of biologically active RNA and RNA hybridization probes from plasmids containing a bacteriophage SP6 promoter

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and efficient method for synthesizing pure single stranded RNAs of virtually any structure is described, based on the unusually specific RNA synthesis by bacteriophage SP6 RNA polymerase which initiates transcription exclusively at an SP6 promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification of a new neurotrophic factor from mammalian brain.

TL;DR: This factor is the first neurotrophic factor to be purified since NGF, from which it is clearly distinguished because it has different antigenic and functional properties.

Identification of two distinct regulatory regions adjacent to the human β-interferon gene

TL;DR: To study the regulation of the human beta-interferon (beta-IFN) gene by poly(I)-poly(C), the expression of deletion mutants of the cloned gene introduced into mouse cells on a new bovine papilloma virus vector is analyzed.
