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

Major Histocompatibility Complex I and II Expression and Lymphocytic Subtypes in Muscle of Horses with Immune-Mediated Myositis. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundMajor histocompatibility complex (MHC) I and II expression is not normally detected on sarcolemma, but is detected with lymphocytic infiltrates in immune-mediated myositis (IMM) of humans and dogs and in dysferlin-deficient muscular dystrophy ...

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 ...

HLA gene expression is altered in whole blood and placenta from women who later developed preeclampsia [PDF]
, 2017 Preeclampsia is a multi-system disease that significantly contributes to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In this study, we used a non-biased microarray approach to identify dysregulated genes in maternal whole blood samples which may be ...

Quality Control in Histocompatibility Testing: Current Standards, Challenges, and Future Directions
Indian Journal of TransplantationHistocompatibility testing is pivotal to the transplantation process since it helps determine immune compatibility between donors and recipients. This compatibility reduces the risk of rejection and improves transplant outcomes.
