Interferon beta and MHC class I regulation - (May/17/2010 )

Dear all,
I try for a long time, but may be I am doing it wrong...I can't find an info on whether interferon beta can differentially regulate MHC class I expression. Would it up-/down-regulate more of H2-D or H2-K type of MHC class I? Is there any info at all on Pubmed? I am sorry that I place non-methodological question in this forum, but it is my ONLY hope to find clever people. Thanks!!!

Hi,
I found something recent on Pubmed. More commonly, IFN gamma or TNF alpha are used and these will consistently upregulate MHC I (and MHC II in non-APCs).

IFN beta treatment induces MHC class I expression in the spinal cord and enhances axonal growth and motor function recovery following sciatic nerve crush in mice.
