In Silico Derivation of HLA-Specific Alloreactivity Potential from Whole Exome Sequencing of Stem Cell Transplant Donors and Recipients: Understanding the Quantitative Immuno-biology of Allogeneic Transplantation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology 2014. 5:529, 2014 Donor T cell mediated graft vs. host effects may result from the aggregate alloreactivity to minor histocompatibility antigens (mHA) presented by the HLA in each donor-recipient pair (DRP) undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT). Whole exome sequencing has demonstrated extensive nucleotide sequence variation in HLA-matched DRP. Non-synonymous single

The Humoral Theory of Transplantation: Epitope Analysis and the Pathogenicity of HLA Antibodies [PDF]
Journal of Immunology Research, 2016 Central to the humoral theory of transplantation is production of antibodies by the recipient against mismatched HLA antigens in the donor organ. Not all mismatches result in antibody production, however, and not all antibodies are pathogenic.

HLA profile in patients with AIDS and tuberculosis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008 Studies carried out in various populations have reported an association between some HLA specificities and susceptibility to tuberculosis. We investigated the class I and class II HLA profile in Brazilian patients of various ethnic backgrounds who had ...

High fraction of silent recombination in a finite population two-locus neutral birth-death-mutation model [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 106, 024409 (2022), 2021 A precise estimate of allele and haplotype polymorphism is of great interest in theoretical population genetics, but also has practical applications, such as bone marrow registries management. Allele polymorphism is driven mainly by point mutations, while haplotype polymorphism is also affected by recombination. Current estimates treat recombination as

Discovery and Differential Processing of HLA Class II-Restricted Minor Histocompatibility Antigen LB-PIP4K2A-1S and Its Allelic Variant by Asparagine Endopeptidase [PDF]
, 2020 Minor histocompatibility antigens are the main targets of donor-derived T-cells after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Identification of these antigens and understanding their biology are a key requisite for more insight into how graft vs.

Allelic variation in HLA-B and HLA-C sequences and the evolution of the HLA-B alleles [PDF]
, 1989 Several new HLA-B (B8, B51, Bw62)- and HLA-C (Cw6, Cw7)-specific genes were isolated either as genomic cosmid or cDNA clones to study the diversity of HLA antigens.

Modulation of HLA antigens in response to the binding of epidermal growth factor by A431 cells [PDF]
, 1988 In a previous study [(1984) J. Cell Biol. 98, 725–731] we showed that the level of human MHC, HLA antigens on A431 carcinoma cells is reduced after these cells bind epidermal growth factor (EGF).

HLA predictions from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples of five patients at the early stage of the Wuhan seafood market COVID-19 outbreak [PDF]
Bioinformatics, btaa756 (2020), 2020 We are in the midst of a global viral pandemic, one with no cure and a high mortality rate. The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) gene complex plays a critical role in host immunity. We predicted HLA class I and II alleles from the transcriptome sequencing data prepared from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples of five patients at the early stage of ...

Functional characterization of infiltrating T lymphocytes in human hepatic allografts [PDF]
