General Characteristics of MHC MHC Molecules & Genes MHC-I MHC-II MHC-III Genomic maps of MHC Cellular Distribution of MHC Regulation of MHC Expression MHC and Immune Responsiveness MHC and Disease Content Outline 6
General Characteristics of MHC • MHC vs HLA • Congenic mice • Genetic Co dominance • Location & function of MHC regions • MHC haplotypes 7
MHC vs HLA • MHC: Major Histocompatability complex • mouse genetic complex • HLA: Human Leucocyte Antigen • human genetic complex Similar functions: different terms
MHC genes (mouse) • Class 1 genes K D L R Qa Tla • Class 2 genes A A E E • Class 3 genes C4 Slp 61
HLA genes (human) • HLA 1 B C A • HLA 2 SB SB • HLA 3 C4f C4S C2 Bf 62
Congenic Mice • Two strains of mice that are genetically identical except at one locus • developed by successive back crosses to one parent • each progeny tested for specific difference • if difference still present then back cross again
MHC: Assays • Serotyping • Mixed lymphocyte Reaction 36
MHC Molecules & Genes • Structure of MHC-I • Structure of MHC-II • Gene Organization • Peptide Binding 8
MHC-I 9
MHC-II • Polymorphic • Immunocytes • Class II molecules 10
MHC III • Collection of genes associated with MHC • Do not code for MHC I or MHC II • Code for associated immunological molecules • complement • interferon • Tumour necrosis factor
Gene C2, C4a,C4b, Bf COL11A2 CYP21,CYP21P G7a/b HSP LMP2, LMP7 TAP1,TAP2 TNF-a, TNF-b Encoded Protein Complement collagen Steroid 21-hydroxylases Valyl-tRNA synthetase Heat Shock Protein Proteasome-like subunits Peptide transports subunits Tumour Necrosis factor Class III MHC Products
Genomic maps of MHC • MHC-I • MHC-II • MHC-III 11
Regulation of MHC Expression • 5’ promotor sequences • Positive and negative control of transcription • CIITA-Transactivator • RFX Bare lymphocyte Syndrome 13
Regulation of MHC Expression • Class I level of expression different in various cell types • Class II- gene expression limited to certain cell types 13
MHC and Immune Responsiveness • Determinant selection model • Hole in the repertoire model 14
Distribution of MHC Antigens • MHC I All nucleated cells & Platelets (mouse RBCs) • MHC II lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages 63
Key Terms • alleles, alloantigens. bone marrow chimeras, Class I molecules, Class I regions, Class II molecules, • Class II regions, Class III molecules, Class III regions, Determinant selection model, • H-2 complex and its regions D region, I region, K region, L region, S region 17
hole in the repertoire models,locus, Immune response genes, congenic mice, Human Leukocyte Antigens, Major histocompatibility complex, MHC restriction, negative thymic selection • positive thymic selection, public specificities, private specificities, region, Specificities, superantigens 18
