Gewurz B, Gaudet R, Tortorella D, Wang E, Ploegh H
Curr Opin Immunol . 2001 Aug; 13(4):442-50. PMID: 11498300
Over the past year, we have witnessed the discovery of further virus immuno-evasins--proteins that alter the host immune response. Although many of these factors have been described over the past...

Lennon-Dumenil A, Roberts R, Valentijn K, Driessen C, Overkleeft H, Erickson A, et al.
EMBO J . 2001 Aug; 20(15):4055-64. PMID: 11483509
The p41 splice variant of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-associated invariant chain (Ii) contains a 65 aa segment that binds to the active site of cathepsin L (CatL), a...

Driessen C, Lennon-Dumenil A, Ploegh H
Eur J Immunol . 2001 Jul; 31(5):1592-601. PMID: 11465117
We have analyzed the intracellular degradation of an immune complex after its FcgammaR-mediated uptake in antigen-presenting cells (APC). Mice that lack the cathepsins (Cat) S, L, B and D allowed...

Maurice M, Gould D, Carroll J, Vugmeyster Y, Ploegh H
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2001 Jun; 98(13):7437-42. PMID: 11404484
The H-2Ld alloreactive 2C T cell receptor (TCR) is commonly considered as being positively selected on the H-2Kb molecule. Surprisingly, 2C TCR+ CD8+ single-positive T cells emerge in massive numbers...

Gewurz B, Gaudet R, Tortorella D, Wang E, Ploegh H, Wiley D
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2001 Jun; 98(12):6794-9. PMID: 11391001
Many persistent viruses have evolved the ability to subvert MHC class I antigen presentation. Indeed, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes at least four proteins that down-regulate cell-surface expression of class I....

Gewurz B, Wang E, Tortorella D, Schust D, Ploegh H
J Virol . 2001 May; 75(11):5197-204. PMID: 11333901
The human cytomegalovirus-encoded US2 glycoprotein targets endoplasmic reticulum-resident major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains for rapid degradation by the proteasome. We demonstrate that the endoplasmic reticulum-lumenal domain of...

Lorenzo M, Ploegh H, Tirabassi R
Semin Immunol . 2001 Apr; 13(1):1-9. PMID: 11289794
Evasion of the immune system by viruses is a well-studied field. It remains a challenge to understand how these viral tactics affect pathogenesis and the viral lifecycle. At the same...

Rehm A, Stern P, Ploegh H, Tortorella D
EMBO J . 2001 Apr; 20(7):1573-82. PMID: 11285222
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) US11 polypeptide is a type I membrane glycoprotein that targets major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules for destruction in a proteasome-dependent manner. Although the US11...

Hsu P, Wolf Bryant P, Sutkowski N, McLellan B, Ploegh H, Huber B
J Immunol . 2001 Feb; 166(5):3309-14. PMID: 11207286
Mouse mammary tumor viruses encode superantigens that interact with MHC class II proteins and stimulate T cells. We show here that presentation of mouse mammary tumor virus superantigen does not...

Villadangos J, Ploegh H
Immunity . 2001 Feb; 12(3):233-9. PMID: 10755610
Antigen-presenting cells (APC) degrade proteins intracellularly to generate peptides, which are then bound by products of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and exposed on the surface of the APC for...
