Alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes focus on specific major histocompatibility complex-bound peptides.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The maturation of dendritic cells (DC) is influenced by various factors, in particular cytokine-mediated signaling events. These include modulation of the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB), which controls the transcription of genes encoding major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, and ...
