Investigation of intracellular signals generated by γ-interferon and IL-4 leading to the induction of class II antigen expression by S. Vassiliadis, N. Kyrpides, D. Stravopodis, M. Grigoriou, I. Athanassakis, J. Papamatheakis

“…This diversity of activation reveals the existence of a previously unknown complicated network of intracellular interactions able to regulate the same phenotype or cellular event. As major histocompatibility complex antigens (MHC) or human leukocyte antigens (HLA), are important in immune recognition and response, the results show that for human cells a more coherent method of HLA-DR antigen induction is followed after γ-IFN administration, as calcium participation seems to be the first step in signal transduction. …”
