Frequency of HLA class I and II in an admixed Brazilian population with psoriasis [PDF]
Background Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease with a significant genetic component. The HLA-C*06:02 allele is one of the most strongly associated with the disease, particularly influencing early onset and severity. There are few current data

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 ...

Expression and function of a nonglycosylated major histocompatibility class I antigen. [PDF]
The major histocompatibility class I antigens, expressed in most somatic cells, have carbohydrate moieties. We constructed mutant mouse MHC class I genes in which codons for the N-linked glycosylation sites were replaced by those of other amino acids.

Macroautophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. Since major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules sample peptides after lysosomal degradation for presentation to CD4+ T cells, it was originally described that ...

Current research status of HLA in immune‐related diseases
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA), also known as human major histocompatibility complex (MHC), is encoded by the HLA gene complex, and is currently known to have the highest gene density and the most polymorphisms among human chromosomal areas.

Antigenic peptide binding by class I and class II histocompatibility proteins [PDF]
The recent determination of the structure of a class II MHC molecule complexed to a specific peptide reveals both similarities and differences with peptide binding by class I MHC.

The MHC class I MICA gene is a histocompatibility antigen in kidney transplantation
AbstractThe identity of histocompatibility loci, besides human leukocyte antigen (HLA), remains elusive. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I MICA gene is a candidate histocompatibility locus. Here, we investigate its role in a French multicenter cohort of 1,356 kidney transplants.

Structure and function of major histocompatibility complex class I antigens [PDF]
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules control the repertoire and function of CD8 T cells and NK cells, and both cell types are involved in transplant rejection. Understanding the regulatory role of MHC class I molecules is important in the design of better therapies.
