Frequency of Major Histocompatibility Antigens Class I in Mazandaran Province
Background and purpose: Major histocompatibility antigens are the most polymorphic components of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a population in Mazandaran province, Iran ...

Thymic selection of T-cell receptors as an extreme value problem [PDF]
T lymphocytes (T cells) orchestrate adaptive immune responses upon activation. T cell activation requires sufficiently strong binding of T cell receptors (TCRs) on their surface to short peptides (p) derived from foreign proteins, which are bound to major histocompatibility (MHC) gene products (displayed on antigen presenting cells). A diverse and self-

Minor histocompatibility antigens represented in HLA-A*02:01 and their search strategies
Minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHAs) are polymorphic peptides on the cell surface derived from self-proteins that are capable to induce an immune response during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation.

The influence of T cell development on pathogen specificity and autoreactivity [PDF]
T cells orchestrate adaptive immune responses upon activation. T cell activation requires sufficiently strong binding of T cell receptors on their surface to short peptides derived from foreign proteins bound to protein products of the major histocompatibility (MHC) gene products, which are displayed on the surface of antigen presenting cells.

Genetic and serological heterogeneity of the supertypic HLA-B locus specificities Bw4 and Bw6 [PDF]
Gene cloning and sequencing of the HLA-B locus split antigens B38 (B16.1) and B39 (B16.2) allowed localization of their subtypic as well as their public specificities HLA-Bw4 or -Bw6 to the c~-helical region of the c~ 1 domain flanked by the amino acid ...

A glow of HLA typing in organ transplantation
The transplant of organs and tissues is one of the greatest curative achievements of this century. In organ transplantation, the adaptive immunity is considered the main response exerted to the transplanted tissue, since the main goal of the immune ...

Mother-child histocompatibility and risk of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus among mothers. [PDF]
The study objective was to test the hypothesis that having histocompatible children increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly by contributing to the persistence of fetal cells acquired during ...

Lateral diffusion of wild-type and mutant Ld antigens in L cells [PDF]
We have compared the lateral diffusion of intact transmembrane proteins, wild-type H-2Ld antigens, with that of mutants truncated in the cytoplasmic domain.

Comparative analysis of minor histocompatibility antigens genotyping methods
The wide range of techniques could be employed to find mismatches in minor histocompatibility antigens between transplant recipients and their donors. In the current study we compared three genotyping methods based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for ...

Allelic variation in HLA-B and HLA-C sequences and the evolution of the HLA-B alleles [PDF]
Several new HLA-B (B8, B51, Bw62)- and HLA-C (Cw6, Cw7)-specific genes were isolated either as genomic cosmid or cDNA clones to study the diversity of HLA antigens.
