    Notes:
    Abstract  Comparison of peptides eluted from human class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and the proteins from which they are derived (source proteins) revealed that class I MHC bind peptides derived from proteins that are highly conserved, hydrophilic, and universally expressed, while the peptides themselves are hydrophobic and even more conserved than their source proteins. In contrast, source proteins for class II-bound peptides were not significantly more conserved than a random sample of proteins. Class II-bound peptides were generally more conserved than their source proteins but were significantly less conserved than class I-bound peptides. The characteristics of class I-bound peptides can probably be explained by the selectivity of processing and transport of peptides for binding by class I, while the relative lack of selectivity of peptide binding for class II may explain the high incidence of autoimmune diseases associated with alleles of these molecules.

    Notes:
    Abstract  Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) is a multifunctional cytokine that is essential in the development of Th1 cells and in cellular responses to a variety of intracellular pathogens including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). We screened genomic DNA samples from a predominately Caucasian male population of HIV-infected and healthy donors for polymorphisms in the human IFNG gene from –777 to +5608 by single-stranded conformational polymorphism. Surprisingly, the proximal promoter (–777 to transcription start) is invariant as no polymorphisms were found in over 100 samples tested. However, further screening revealed polymorphisms in other regions of the gene including a single base insertion in a poly-T tract in the first intron, three single base pair substitutions in the third intron, and another single base pair substitution in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay was used to investigate whether these variants have altered DNA-binding abilities, since intronic enhancer elements have been reported for the IFNG gene. Oligonucleotides constructed for two third intron variants showed no difference in DNA-binding abilities as compared with wild-type sequences. However, the 3′UTR variant showed the formation of unique DNA-binding complexes to radiolabeled oligonucleotide probes as compared with the wild-type sequence. The influence of a CA-repeat microsatellite on AIDS disease progression in HIV-1 seroconverters was tested by a Cox proportional hazards model. There is no evidence of an association between alleles and infection with HIV-1 or progression to AIDS. We report an invariant proximal human IFNG promoter and the existence of multiple intronic variants and a potentially functional 3′UTR polymorphism.

    Notes:
    Abstract  The human genome contains a large number of interspersed microsatellite repeats which exhibit a high degree of polymorphism and are inherited in a Mendelian fashion, making them extremely useful genetic markers. Several microsatellites have been described in the HLA region, but allele nomenclature, a set of broadly distributed controls, and typing methods have not been standardized, which has resulted in discrepant microsatellite data between laboratories. In this report we present a detailed protocol for genotyping microsatellites using a semi-automated fluorescence-based method. Twelve microsatellites within or near the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) were typed in the 10th International Histocompatibility Workshop homozygous typing cell lines (HTCs) and alleles were designated based on size. All loci were sequenced in two HTCs providing some information on the level of complexity of the repeat sequence. A comparison of allele size obtained by genotyping versus that obtained by direct sequencing showed minor discrepancies in some cases, but these were not unexpected given the technical differences in the methodologies. Fluorescence-based typing of microsatellites in the MHC described herein is highly efficient, accurate, and reproducible, and will allow comparison of results between laboratories.

    Notes:
    Abstract We examined the possibility that one mechanism for controlling HLA-DR-α gene expression involves the alteration of chromatin structure. Chromatin structure was analyzed by measuring the susceptibility of DR α genes in intact nuclei to nuclease treatment. We first examined a somatic cell hybrid of a T-lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) and a B-LCL, since the DR αgene, which is inactive in the T-LCL parent, is expressed in the hybrid, thus providing a system to study DR αgene induction. The hybrid line 174 × CEM.T1 contains and expresses solely the DR αgene from the T-LCL parent, since the DR αgene from the B-LCL parent, 174, is deleted. Using cytoplasmic dot blot analysis and RNA-DNA Northern hybridization, we detected DR α-specific transcripts in the hybrid, but not in the parental lines, indicating activation of the DR αgene in the hybrid. The transcribed DR αgene from the hybrid was compared with the untranscribed gene from the T-LCL parental line, and an association between DR αgene expression and increased sensitivity to DNase I was observed. A switch in the chromatin structure of the DR αgene from a closed to an open configuration apparently occurred in this hybrid. Such a change is associated with DR αgene expression. Comparison of a DR-positive B-LCL and an isogenic DR-negative T-LCL also showed that the chromatin of the former is more sensitive to DNase I digestion. There were no restriction enzyme fragment length differences between the DR αgenes from 174 × CEM.T1 and CEMR, indicating that the process of somatic cell hybridization did not result in DNA rearrangement or translocation.
