title: Regulation of MHC class II gene transcription.
abstract: The transcriptional regulation of MHC class II genes involves the interaction of DNA-binding proteins with specific DNA sequences. The cis elements of the promoter region have now been well delineated functionally, while the proteins that interact with these elements are just beginning to be identified and their functional importance assessed.
