Chlamydia Inhibits Interferon γ–inducible Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Expression by Degradation of Upstream Stimulatory Factor 1
We report that chlamydiae, which are obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens, can inhibit interferon (IFN)-γ–inducible major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression. However, the IFN-γ–induced IFN regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) expression i...
