Clinically, there is an association between CMV infections and the occurrence of rejection after renal transplantation. Adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM) and MHC Ags are thought to be important in the induction and amplification of the rejection process. Therefore, we studied ICAM-1 and MHC expression after CMV infection or stimulation with cytokines. Cultured proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) were stimulated with cytokines or infected with CMV. MHC class I, class II, and ICAM-1 expression were determined by radioimmunoassay. IFN-gamma induced class II and ICAM-1 expression. Small concentrations of IFN-alpha inhibited the IFN-gamma induced class II expression. CMV-infected PTEC displayed increased levels of ICAM-1 and class I expression. This enhancement is a direct effect of the virus on the infected cells and not mediated by soluble factors. Although MHC class II expression is not directly enhanced by CMV, infected PTEC display a normal increase of class II expression after stimulation with IFN-gamma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D007687 Kidney Tubules, Proximal The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

D006681 HLA-D Antigens Human immune-response or Class II antigens found mainly, but not exclusively, on B-lymphocytes and produced from genes of the HLA-D locus. They are extremely polymorphic families of glycopeptides, each consisting of two chains, alpha and beta. This group of antigens includes the -DR, -DQ and -DP designations, of which HLA-DR is most studied; some of these glycoproteins are associated with certain diseases, possibly of immune etiology.

The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
