HLA-G allelic variants are associated with differences in the HLA-G mRNA isoform profile and HLA-G mRNA levels

open access: yes, 2003
During pregnancy, the human extra-villous trophoblast in the contact zone between maternal and fetal tissue in the placenta does not express the classical MHC class I and II molecules. Instead, HLA-G and -C, and possibly HLA-E, are expressed.

HLA-G Expressing Immune Cells in Immune Mediated Diseases

open access: yes, 2020
HLA-G is a HLA class Ib antigen that possesses immunomodulatory properties. HLA-G-expressing CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells with immunoregulatory functions are present in small percentages of patients with ...

Controlling the immunological crosstalk during conception and pregnancy: HLA-G in reproduction

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
In several years after its discovery in the placenta, the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class Ib protein, HLA-G, was not given much attention, nor was it assigned great importance. As time has unraveled, HLA-G has proven to have distinctive functions and

Contributions of vitamin D response elements and HLA promoters to multiple sclerosis risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Objective: The identification of a vitamin D-responsive (VDRE) motif within the HLA-DRB1*15:01 promoter region provides an attractive explanation for the combined effects of HLA-DR inheritance and vitamin D exposure on multiple sclerosis (MS) risk.

HLA-G*0105N null allele encodes functional HLA-G isoforms. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Expression of the nonclassical HLA class I antigen, HLA-G, is associated with immune tolerance in view of its role in maintaining the fetus in utero, allowing tumor escape, and favoring graft acceptance.

High-throughput high-resolution class I HLA genotyping in East Africa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
HLA, the most genetically diverse loci in the human genome, play a crucial role in host-pathogen interaction by mediating innate and adaptive cellular immune responses. A vast number of infectious diseases affect East Africa, including HIV/AIDS, malaria,

HLA-G functions as a tumor-intrinsic driver of growth and survival in renal cell carcinoma

open access: yesOncoImmunology
HLA-G is a non-classical MHC class I molecule with potent immunoregulatory functions that is aberrantly expressed in multiple malignancies, yet its tumor-intrinsic role remains poorly defined.

Characterisation of HLA-specific antibodies [PDF]

open access: yes
A successful kidney transplant is the best treatment for established renal failure, yet around 300 patients per annum are denied transplants because they have antibodies, most notably directed against donor HLA or ABO in their blood, which have the ...

Mapping the Landscape of Host-Pathogen Coevolution: HLA Class I Binding and Its Relationship with Evolutionary Conservation in Human and Viral Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The high diversity of HLA binding preferences has been driven by the sequence diversity of short segments of relevant pathogenic proteins presented by HLA molecules to the immune system.
