Impact of MHC class I diversity on immune control of Immuno-deficiency virus ...
This document summarizes a presentation on the impact of MHC class I diversity on immune control of HIV replication. It discusses how MHC class I molecules present antigens to T cells, and their role in distinguishing self from non-self. It then focuses on the central role of MHC class I molecules, particularly HLA-B alleles, in controlling HIV viral loads through CD8+ T cell responses targeting conserved HIV proteins like Gag. Polyfunctional and HLA-B restricted CD8+ T cell responses targeting Gag seem to be most effective at control of HIV replication.

Major histocompactibility complex
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a collection of genes located on chromosome 6 in humans that encode MHC molecules. MHC molecules present peptide fragments on the cell surface to help the immune system identify infected or damaged cells. There are two main classes of MHC molecules: class I molecules present peptides from intracellular proteins on most nucleated cells to cytotoxic T cells, while class II molecules present peptides from extracellular proteins on antigen-presenting cells to helper T cells. MHC molecules play a key role in immune system functions like regulating T cell development and activating immune responses against pathogens.
Major Histocompatibility Complex
Some potential causes of the immune system attacking the self in autoimmune diseases include:
- Genetic predisposition - Genes coding for the variety of MHC molecules can influence susceptibility. A T cell's ability to respond is determined by MHC genotype. Differences in MHC alleles' ability to present autoantigens can play a role.
- Environmental triggers - Factors like infections, drugs, trauma, etc. may trigger autoimmunity in genetically susceptible individuals by molecular mimicry or other mechanisms.
- Loss of tolerance - Failure to eliminate self-reactive lymphocytes during development or maintain peripheral tolerance can allow self-reactivity.
- Hormonal factors - Many autoimmune diseases are more common in women and fluctuate with horm
Eng. major histocompatibility complex
The MHC complex is a cluster of genes present in all mammals that plays an important role in self/non-self discrimination. MHC genes code for cell surface antigens that present antigens to T cells and are highly polymorphic between individuals. There are four classes of MHC molecules: Class I presents endogenous antigens to CD8+ T cells on all nucleated cells; Class II presents exogenous antigens to CD4+ T cells on antigen presenting cells; Class III proteins have immune functions; Class IV is no longer used. The MHC complex is crucial for immune recognition and response.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a key role in the immune system by presenting antigens and distinguishing self from non-self. It is located on chromosome 6 in humans and contains genes like HLA that determine disease susceptibility. MHC molecules come in two classes: class I present intracellular peptides and class II present extracellular peptides. Variants in MHC genes can increase risk for certain diseases, like a variant in HLA-DQ increasing susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. Loss of MHC diversity in some populations like cheetahs can also lead to increased disease emergence due to a less broad range of antigens recognized.

MHC: Major Histocompetability Complex
The document discusses the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and its role in immune recognition. It notes that Gorer and Snell in the 1930s discovered that mouse skin grafts were rejected between mice of different blood groups, showing tissue recognition is based on genetics. They coined the term MHC to describe the genes controlling this tissue recognition. MHC molecules present peptides and are highly polymorphic within and between species, allowing an organism to distinguish self from non-self. The MHC in humans is called the HLA complex.
HLA system and major histocompatibility complex
The document summarizes the HLA system and major histocompatibility complex. It discusses that MHC antigens are located on chromosome 6 and have 4 loci (A, B, C, D). MHC antigens are divided into 3 classes - Class I antigens regulate cytotoxic T cells, Class II antigens regulate helper T cells, and Class III antigens are components of the complement system but not associated with HLA expression. The HLA complex plays important roles in organ transplantation by matching donors and recipients, regulating the immune system through Class I and II antigens, and being associated with certain diseases.
Mhc
The document summarizes key aspects of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC):
1) The MHC was discovered through studies of transplant rejection in inbred mouse strains, which showed that rejection depended on the genetics of the donor and recipient strains.
2) MHC molecules present peptide antigens to T cells and play a crucial role in immune responses, including transplant rejection.
3) MHC molecules are highly polymorphic and polygenic, with multiple variants of each type, which allows populations to recognize a wide variety of pathogens.
HLA structure
The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC):
- Is located on chromosome 6 and contains genes such as HLA that play a role in distinguishing self from non-self.
- Genes are organized into three classes: class I present antigens to T cells, class II present antigens to T helper cells, and class III genes produce immune system proteins.
- MHC molecules are highly polymorphic and inherited as sets (haplotypes) from each parent, allowing presentation of a wide variety of antigens.
Mhc
The MHC encodes antigen presenting molecules that display peptide fragments to T cells to initiate immune responses. It contains three regions - Class I MHC presents intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells, Class II MHC presents extracellular peptides to CD4+ T cells, and Class III MHC encodes complement proteins. MHC molecules are highly polymorphic and individuals inherit multiple alleles from each parent. This polymorphism allows presentation of a wide range of peptides and enhances immune responses against pathogens. MHC matching is important for transplantation, as mismatch can lead to graft rejection through T cell recognition of foreign MHC.

MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX AND HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN
The document discusses major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and heat shock proteins (HSP) in chickens. MHC genes encode proteins that present antigens and are involved in immune response and recognition. HSPs help proteins fold correctly and prevent aggregation. Both MHC and HSP play important roles in immune function, disease resistance, and stress response in chickens. Manipulation of these genes may help improve production traits and resistance to disease.
Role of major histocompatibility complex
MHC genes evolve through duplication, followed by diversification, co‐evolution, and sequence exchange. The focus, for HLA in transplantation, has been the specific classical class I and class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules and alleles. Importantly, anti‐HLA antibodies developed after the organ transplants play a role in acute and chronic allograft rejection, highlighting the need to detect these antibodies in a clinically relevant manner. Although the immune response to HLA antigens plays a pivotal role in allograft rejection, evidence shows that non‐HLA antigens also contribute to the pathogenesis of acute and chronic rejection, which limits long‐term graft survival of the solid organ transplants.
MHC MOLECULES
The document discusses the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in mammals. It notes that MHC acts as antigen presenting receptors and are involved in cell-cell interaction, antigen presentation, and recognition of self and non-self molecules.

Sjogren syndrome by aseem
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the exocrine glands, most commonly the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth. It exists as either a primary form that occurs alone or a secondary form associated with other connective tissue diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth along with tests like salivary gland biopsy, salivary flow tests, and lab tests for autoantibodies. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms while complications can involve other organ systems.
Adult Onset Still's Disease
Adult-onset Still's disease is a form of rheumatoid arthritis that was characterized by Bywaters in 1971. Its main feature is a combination of symptoms such as high fever, cutaneous rash during fever peaks, joint and muscle pain, lymph node enlargement, increased white cell count especially polymorphonuclear neutrophils and abnormalities of liver metabolism. None of these symptoms is sufficient to establish the diagnosis and infact may be present in several other diseases such as neoplastic and infectious diseases. Thus AOSD is a “diagnosis of exclusion”.
Polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteiritis
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are two closely related inflammatory conditions that often occur in the same patient population. GCA causes inflammation of medium and large arteries and can lead to vision loss, strokes, and other ischemic symptoms. It predominantly affects women over 50 and is diagnosed based on clinical features, elevated inflammatory markers like ESR, and positive temporal artery biopsy. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and monitoring disease involving large arteries like the aorta. High-dose corticosteroids are the primary treatment.
polymyalgia rheumatica
A 71-year-old woman presented with aching pain and stiffness in her arms, hands, knees and feet for several months. She responded well initially to steroid treatment but had difficulty tapering off the dose. Examination found symmetrical joint swelling. Tests showed elevated inflammatory markers. She was diagnosed with possible polymyalgia rheumatica or late-onset rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment with methotrexate and gradual steroid tapering was recommended.

Major histocompatibility complex and antigen presentation & processing
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) was discovered through studies of transplant rejection in inbred mouse strains. The MHC encodes three classes of molecules - class I molecules present peptides to CD8+ T cells, class II molecules present peptides to CD4+ T cells, and class III molecules play roles in immune responses. MHC molecules have a peptide-binding cleft that binds peptides derived from antigens. The polymorphisms in MHC genes allow presentation of a wide variety of peptides and help populations respond to diverse pathogens.

MHC major histocompatibility complex
The document discusses the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which are surface proteins that play an important role in identifying antigens and presenting them to T cells. It covers the different classes of MHC molecules, their structures, functions in immunity, and examples in humans (HLA) and mice (H-2 complex). MHC molecules present peptide fragments on their surface and interact specifically with T cells through anchor residues on the peptides. They are essential for self/non-self discrimination, defense against infection, and transplantation compatibility.
Hla typi ng pg seminar final 0604
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing involves determining the presence of HLA antigens on white blood cells. HLA antigens are encoded by genes in the major histocompatibility complex located on chromosome 6. HLA typing was originally done using serology to detect antibodies binding to HLA antigens, but now molecular techniques are more commonly used. HLA antigens are highly polymorphic and inherited as haplotypes from each parent, contributing to diversity in transplantation compatibility.

Major histocompatibility complex (mhc)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of surface proteins that present antigens to T cells. MHC molecules are classified into two groups: Class I MHC molecules are expressed on all nucleated cells and present intracellular antigens to CD8+ T cells. Class II MHC molecules are mainly expressed on antigen-presenting cells and present extracellular antigens to CD4+ T cells. MHC molecules play an important role in organ transplantation by determining tissue compatibility and in the immune response by ensuring the correct response is mounted against different pathogens.

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) , introduction,it's types and it's role in immune system.
12 cellular basis of imune response
1) Antigen processing and presentation involves extracellular and intracellular proteins being degraded into peptides and bound to MHC class I or II molecules. These peptide-MHC complexes are expressed on antigen presenting cells and recognized by T cells to initiate an immune response.
2) T cells are activated through recognition of peptide-MHC complexes by their T cell receptors along with co-stimulatory signals. Activated T cells proliferate and differentiate into effector and memory T cells.
3) Effector T cells stimulate immune responses like activating macrophages to kill intracellular pathogens, leading to delayed type hypersensitivity reactions which can cause tissue damage if infection is not resolved.
MHC and graft rejection modified.ppt
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes code for cell surface proteins that present antigens to T cells. In humans, MHC genes are located on chromosome 6 and are highly polymorphic. There are three main MHC classes - class I presents intracellular antigens to CD8+ T cells, class II presents extracellular antigens to CD4+ T cells, and class III encodes complement and cytokine proteins. MHC matching is important for transplant acceptance, as mismatches can lead to graft rejection through cellular and antibody-mediated immune responses.
Major Histocompatibility Complex
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules display antigen peptides on the surface of cells to be recognized by T cells. There are two main types of MHC molecules: class I molecules present intracellular peptides to CD8+ T cells on most nucleated cells, while class II molecules present extracellular peptides to CD4+ T cells on antigen-presenting cells like dendritic cells and macrophages. MHC molecules bind peptides promiscuously but polymorphisms among individuals influence peptide binding. Dendritic cells are especially effective at antigen capture and presentation to initiate primary T cell responses.
Immunogenetics by Prof. Mohamed Labib Salem Tanta University
This document provides an overview of immunogenetics. It begins with an agenda that defines immunogenetics and discusses immune responses, diversity mechanisms, and immunodeficiency diseases. The document then defines immunogenetics as the study of genetic control of immune cells and molecules. It focuses on structure and organization of immune response genes, HLA antigens and disease association, generation of antibody and T cell diversity. Mechanisms creating diversity for B cell receptors, T cell receptors and HLA are described. Finally, immunodeficiency diseases associated with impaired immune function are briefly discussed.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Targeting Hsp90 and its pathogen Orthologs with Tethered Inhibitors as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy for cancer and infectious diseases with Dr. Timothy Haystead.Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

- 1. MHC & INFECTIOUS DISEASES
- 4. .MHC ( Major histocompatibility complex.) The immune system is regulated by molecules coded by some genes. These are genes of the histocompatibility system which code For Human leukocyte antigens. (HLA).
- 5. HLA : located in the short arm of chromosome 6.( part of MHC.) MHC: divided into 3 classes. MHC class 1 : code the molecules HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C. (present in almost all somatic cells) MHC class11 : code the molecules HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, HLA-DP. (expressed in APC , B- cells, activated T-cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, Thymic epith.cells.)
- 9. Each individual have: * 2 antigens in each locus. * one half inherited from each parent. Expression of MHC alleles is Codominant. each ( one haplotype inherited from parent .)
- 10. HLA: the most polymorphic genetic system in man. * numerous alleles. * various possible combinations. * Polymorphism contribute to : - the genetic diversity of the species. - differences in susceptibility to diseases. (among genetically distinct groups.) * this make it difficult for large-scale epidemics to occur.
- 11. MHC polymorphism &polygeny. Polymorphism of MHC loci ensure the diversity in MHC gene expression in the population as a whole. Polygeny (the presence of several different related genes with similar functions) , ensures that each individual produces a number of different MHC molecules .
- 13. The antigenic universe. Scientists estimate that the antigenic universe contain between 106- 107 epitopes.(antigens.) This mean that there are at least 106- 107 epitope –specific T-cell and B-cell. (specific mean that there is a cell, T or B for each of the 106- 107 epitopes.)
- 16. T-cells only recognize microbial peptides in association with MHC.(restricted) * MHC control : -resistance to infections. -susceptibility to infections. Stimulation require 2 signals. *Antigen peptide. * Co-stimulatory signal. (2 key system .)
