1 12928384 Expression of class II transactivator (CIITA) types I and III, but not IV, transcripts increases in response to GM-CSF.
2 12928384 Furthermore, GM-CSF increases the amount of CIITA associated with the DR promoter.
3 16424052 To determine if Ii expression affects presentation of MHC class II-restricted endogenously synthesized tumor antigens in human tumor cells, HLA-DR-MCF10 breast cancer cells were transduced with the CIITA, CD80 costimulatory molecule gene, and with or without small interfering RNAs (siRNA) specific for Ii.
4 16424052 Therefore, tumor cells transduced with the CIITA, CD80, and with or without Ii siRNA present endogenously synthesized tumor antigens and are potential vaccines for activating tumor-specific CD4+ T cells.
5 18453624 Furthermore, our data suggested that coadministration of DNA-encoding calreticulin (CRT) linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E6 Ag (CRT/E6) with CIITA DNA leads to enhanced E6-specific CD8(+) T cell immune responses in vaccinated mice.
