Direct induction of MHC class I, but not class II, expression on endothelial cells by cytomegalovirus infection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) plays key roles in graft viability and posttransplantation function. Caspase-3 associated with apoptosis and inflammation is up-regulated by IRI. We propose that naked small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting caspase-3 may prevent IRI and improve kidney preservation. METHODS...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Rat lung allograft rejection is mediated by collagen type V (col(V)) specific T-helper-cell 17 (Th17) cells. Adoptive transfer of these cells is sufficient to induce rejection pathology in isografts, whereas tolerance to col(V) suppresses allograft rejection. Therefore, we tested whether regulatory T cells f...
