MHC class II immuno-deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease due to a defect in transacting genes, which control the expression of the entire family of MHC alpha and beta class II genes. Previous analyses classified cells from eight MHC class II-deficient patients and four experimental mutant cell lines into four complementation groups, pointing to the existence of a large number of regulatory genes. We conducted fusion experiments with cell lines from two-thirds of all known patients and found that two complementation groups accounted for 20 of the 22 cases studied. These two complementation groups correspond closely to two ethnic groups: most patients of north African origin were classified into one group, while all patients originating from Spain were classified into a second main group. This suggests the existence of restricted number of ancestor mutations leading to this disease.

D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
