Identification of a new epitope for HIV-neutralizing antibodies in the gp41 membrane proximal external region by an Env-tailored phage display library.

abstract：:The role of the invariant chain (Ii), an MHC class II-associated chaperone, in B cell development is controversial. Ii deficient mice (Ii(-/-) mice) show a defect in B cell development. This defect has been attributed to the absence of a fragment liberated from the Ii by intramembranous proteolysis. It was proposed th...

abstract：:IL-12 and IL-4, respectively, dominate Th1 versus Th2 polarization. Additionally IL-4 can inhibit IL-12 p40 production in DC. Here we show that macrophages respond to bacterial CpG-DNA with IL-12 p40 production in an IL-4-sensitive manner. Analysis of the molecular mechanism of this inhibition shows that IL-4 acts by ...
