Deciphering the HLA-E immunopeptidome with mass spectrometry: an opportunity for universal mRNA vaccines and T-cell-directed immunotherapies [PDF]
Advances in immunotherapy rely on targeting novel cell surface antigens, including therapeutically relevant peptide fragments presented by HLA molecules, collectively known as the actionable immunopeptidome.

HLA‐E is a member of the nonclassical HLA class Ib genes. Even though it is structurally highly similar to the classical HLA class Ia genes, it is less diverse and only 45 alleles and 12 proteins were known in December 2019 (IPD‐IMGT/HLA, release 3.38.0).

AbstractThere is growing interest in HLA‐E‐restricted T‐cell responses as a possible novel, highly conserved, vaccination targets in the context of infectious and malignant diseases. The developing field of HLA multimers for the detection and study of peptide‐specific T cells has allowed the in‐depth study of TCR repertoires and molecular requirements ...

Hepatitis C virus usually produces chronic infection and liver damage. Considering that: i) the human leukocyte antigen-E (HLA-E) molecule may modulate the immune response, and ii) little is known about the role of HLA-E gene variability on chronic hepatitis C, we studied the impact of HLA-E polymorphisms on the magnitude of HLA-E liver expression and ...

HLA-E and HLA-F Are Overexpressed in Glioblastoma and HLA-E Increased After Exposure to Ionizing Radiation [PDF]
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the deadliest human cancers responding very poorly to therapy. Although the central nervous system has been traditionally considered an immunologically privileged site with an enhanced immune response, GBM appears to benefit from this immunosuppressive milieu.

Impaired Intracellular Transport and Cell Surface Expression of Nonpolymorphic HLA-E [PDF]
The assembly of the classical, polymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum requires the presence of peptide ligands and ~2-microglobulin (~2m). Formation of this trimolecular complex is a prerequisite for e~

HLA-G: expression in human keratinocytes in vitro and in human skin in vivo [PDF]
Classical, polymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I molecules are expressed on most nucleated cells.They present peptides at the cell surface and, thus, enable the immune system to scan peptides for their antigenicity.

Expression analysis of HLA-E and NKG2A and NKG2C receptors points at a role for natural killer function in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
Background. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a complex chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with the majority of HLA-B27 alleles. HLA-E are non-classical MHC class I molecules that specifically interact with the natural killer receptors NKG2A ...

High expression of HLA-E in colorectal carcinoma is associated with a favorable prognosis
Background Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-E is a non-classical class I HLA molecule that can be stabilized by ligands donated by other classical (HLA-A, -B, -C) and non-classical (HLA-G) family members.
