| Abstract | Loss of expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules on tumor cells affects the onset and modulation of the immune response through lack of activation of CD4+ T lymphocytes. Previously, we showed that the frequent loss of expression of HLA class II in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the testis and the central nervous system (CNS) is mainly due to homozygous deletions in the HLA region on chromosome band 6p21.3. A minority of cases showed hemizygous deletions or mitotic recombination, implying that mutation of the remaining copy of the class II genes might be involved. Here, we studied three DLBCLs with loss of HLA-DQ expression for mutations in the DQB1 and DQA1 genes and three tumors with loss of HLA-DR expression for mutations in the DRB1 and DRA genes. In one case, a point mutation in exon 2 of the DQB1 gene, leading to the formation of a stop codon, was detected at position 47. In a second case, a stop codon was found at position 11 due to a deletion of 19 bp in exon 1 of the DRA gene. No mutations were found in the promoter sequences of the DRA, DQA1 and DQB1 genes. We conclude that both homozygous deletions and hemizygous deletions or mitotic recombination with mutations of the remaining allele may lead to loss of expression of the HLA class II genes, which is comparable to the mechanisms affecting HLA class I expression in solid cancers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
