Discovery and Differential Processing of HLA Class II-Restricted Minor Histocompatibility Antigen LB-PIP4K2A-1S and Its Allelic Variant by Asparagine Endopeptidase [PDF]
Minor histocompatibility antigens are the main targets of donor-derived T-cells after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Identification of these antigens and understanding their biology are a key requisite for more insight into how graft vs.

Canonical and Non-Canonical Functions of the Autophagy Machinery in MHC Restricted Antigen Presentation [PDF]
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 ...

Modulation of the major histocompatibility complex class II-associated peptide repertoire by human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DO [PDF]
Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class II molecules is essential for antibody production and T cell activation. For most class II alleles, peptide binding depends on the catalytic action of human histocompatibility leukocyte ...

In Silico Derivation of HLA-Specific Alloreactivity Potential from Whole Exome Sequencing of Stem Cell Transplant Donors and Recipients: Understanding the Quantitative Immuno-biology of Allogeneic Transplantation [PDF]
Donor T cell mediated graft vs. host effects may result from the aggregate alloreactivity to minor histocompatibility antigens (mHA) presented by the HLA in each donor-recipient pair (DRP) undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT). Whole exome sequencing has demonstrated extensive nucleotide sequence variation in HLA-matched DRP. Non-synonymous single

Determining the Quantitative Principles of T Cell Response to Antigenic Disparity in Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Alloreactivity compromising clinical outcomes in stem cell transplantation is observed despite HLA matching of donors and recipients. This has its origin in the variation between the exomes of the two, which provides the basis for minor ...

Canine intestinal organoids as a platform for studying MHC class II expression in epithelial cells [PDF]
Backgrounds The interplay between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), the immune system, and the gut microbiome is pivotal for maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis and mediating responses to ingested antigens.

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.

Mathematical Modeling Insights into Improving CAR T cell Therapy for Solid Tumors: Antigen Heterogeneity and Bystander Effects [PDF]
As an adoptive cellular therapy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy has shown remarkable success in hematological malignancies, but only limited efficacy against solid tumors. Compared with blood cancers, solid tumors present a unique set of challenges that ultimately neutralize the function of CAR T-cells.

MHC Class II Presentation in Autoimmunity
Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules is crucial for eliciting an efficient immune response by CD4+ T cells and maintaining self-antigen tolerance.
