Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the histopathologic, serologic, lymphocytic,
virological, hormonal, and genetic characteristics of murine models of systemic lupus …

Trick number one: the MHC is discovered to control the presence of antigens on the surface
of red blood cells and is regarded as a blood group locus (26). A whole new dimension is …

In this second part of the Second Listing, we describe genes that constitute the H-2 complex
proper. Here, we define the complex functionally as consisting of class I and class II loci (see …

MHC class Ia-deficient mice (H2 K b−/− D b−/−) inoculated with the intracellular pathogen
Listeria monocytogenes (LM) displayed a three-to fourfold expansion of splenic CD8+ T …

Cytotoxic effector T cells putatively specific for multiple non-H-2 histocompatibility (H)
antigens were generated by immunizing and boosting C57BL/6 and B6. CH-2 d mice with …

Immunization of C57BL/6 mice with BALB. B spleen cells in vivo and subsequent boosting in
mixed lymphocyte culture result in the generation of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) which …

George D. Snell began defining and naming the H2 haplotypes many years ago by
histogenetic typing. Since then, a few haplotypes have been given an additional letter, such …

A new target antigen for unrestricted killing was defined by NZB T lymphocytes which were
immunized and restimulated with H-2-identical BALB/c spleen cells. These effector cells …

Chapter 1. The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), and the Involvement of its Products
in Antigen Recognition 1.1. Properties and Biologic Roles of the MHC Products 1.1. 1. MHC …

Medial histocompatibility (H) antigens are weak H antigens, recognized by unrestricted T
cells; they differ thus from both major and minor H antigens. An example, Qed‐1, is …
