Background: Genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases is partly due to the variation in the human genome, and COVID-19 is not the exception. This study aimed to identify whether risk alleles of known genes linked with emphysema (SERPINA1) and ...

TripHLApan: predicting HLA molecules binding peptides based on triple coding matrix and transfer learning [PDF]
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is an important molecule family in the field of human immunity, which recognizes foreign threats and triggers immune responses by presenting peptides to T cells. In recent years, the synthesis of tumor vaccines to induce specific immune responses has become the forefront of cancer treatment.

E5 protein of human papillomavirus 16 downregulates HLA class I and interacts with the heavy chain via its first hydrophobic domai [PDF]
Human papillomavirus type 16 E5 protein (HPV-16 E5) is expressed early in papillomavirus infection and is localised primarily in the cell Golgi apparatus (GA) and endoplasmic reticulum. E5 prevents transport of the major histocompatibility class I (MHC I;

Factors influencing transfusion-associated HLA sensitization in patients bridged to heart transplantation using ventricular assist device. [PDF]
BackgroundBridging heart failure patients with mechanical ventricular assist devices (VAD) enables access to transplantation. However, VAD is associated with increased risk for anti-HLA antibodies associated with rejection of subsequent allografts ...

Predicting Kidney Transplant Survival using Multiple Feature Representations for HLAs [PDF]
Kidney transplantation can significantly enhance living standards for people suffering from end-stage renal disease. A significant factor that affects graft survival time (the time until the transplant fails and the patient requires another transplant) for kidney transplantation is the compatibility of the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLAs) between the ...

HLA predictions from long sequence read alignments, streamed directly into HLAminer [PDF]
The rapidly changing landscape of sequencing technologies brings new opportunities to genomics research. Longer sequence reads and higher sequence throughput coupled with ever-improving base accuracy and decreasing per-base cost is now making long reads suitable for analyzing polymorphic regions of the human genome, such as those of the human leucocyte
