HLA-G

These are present on fetal cells at the maternal-fetal interface and are credited with inhibiting rejection by maternal CD8+ T cells by protecting the fetus from identification as foreign.

Class II presentation can occur with either live or replication-incompetent virus; protein synthesis inhibitors had no effect, indicating that new protein synthesis is not a necessary condition of class II presentation.

Class II, but not class I, presentation is inhibited by treatment of the cells with an agent that blocks endocytic processing within the cell (chloroquine).

Mechanisms to protect an individual from this sort of anti-self immune attack must exist, and they do, called as tolerance

Self-reactive B cells can undergo receptor editing.

In this process, the antigen-specific V region is “edited” or switched for a different V-region gene segment via V(D)J recombination,

Central tolerance deletes self-reactive T- or B-cell clones before the cells are allowed to mature. occurs in the primary lymphoid organs
