Discrepancies in HLA typing: use of different methods to confirm doubtful or inconclusive results
Acta Scientiarum. Health Sciences, 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.4025/actascihealthsci.v36i1.15575 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a set of genes found on the short arm of chromosome 6. MHC molecules in human beings are known as human leukocyte antigens (HLA). HLA polymorphism can be

454 screening of individual MHC variation in an endemic island passerine [PDF]
, 2014 Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) code for receptors that are central to the adaptive immune response of vertebrates. These genes are therefore important genetic markers with which to study adaptive genetic variation in the wild.

Prediction of peptides binding to MHC class I alleles by partial periodic pattern mining [PDF]
, 2009 MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) is a key player in the immune response of an organism. It is important to be able to predict which antigenic peptides will bind to a specific MHC allele and which will not, creating possibilities for controlling ...

Identifying a Minor Histocompatibility Antigen in Mauritian Cynomolgus Macaques Encoded by APOBEC3C
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants can lead to dramatic reductions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reservoirs. This effect is partially mediated by donor T cells recognizing lymphocyte-expressed minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAgs).
