Enhanced expression of beta2-microglobulin and HLA antigens on human lymphoid cells by interferon.
Mononuclear cells from the blood of healthy normal humans were kept in cultures under nonstimulating conditions for 16 hr in the presence or absence of human interferon.

Immunity to infections with Measles Virus (MV) can involve vigorous HLA class I restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T cell (CTL) responses. MV, albeit regarded monotypic, is known to undergo molecular evolution across its RNA genome.

Newly synthesized class II HLA antigens being transported to the surface of human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) interact with transferrin-neuraminidase conjugates internalized by means of receptor-mediated endocytosis.

HLA Epitopes: The Targets of Monoclonal and Alloantibodies Defined
Sensitization to human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in organ transplant patients causes graft rejection, according to the humoral theory of transplantation. Sensitization is almost ubiquitous as anti-HLA antibodies are found in almost all sera of transplant ...

Mathematical Modeling Insights into Improving CAR T cell Therapy for Solid Tumors: Antigen Heterogeneity and Bystander Effects [PDF]
As an adoptive cellular therapy, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy has shown remarkable success in hematological malignancies, but only limited efficacy against solid tumors. Compared with blood cancers, solid tumors present a unique set of challenges that ultimately neutralize the function of CAR T-cells.

Multiscreen serum analysis of highly sensitized renal dialysis patients for antibodies toward public and private class I HLA determinants: Implications for computer-predicted acceptable and unacceptable donor mismatches in kidney transplantation [PDF]
A multiscreen serum analysis program has been developed that permits a determination of antibody specificity for the vast majority of highly sensitized patients awaiting transplantation.

Genetic and serological heterogeneity of the supertypic HLA-B locus specificities Bw4 and Bw6 [PDF]
Gene cloning and sequencing of the HLA-B locus split antigens B38 (B16.1) and B39 (B16.2) allowed localization of their subtypic as well as their public specificities HLA-Bw4 or -Bw6 to the c~-helical region of the c~ 1 domain flanked by the amino acid ...

Is There any Greater Possibility in Finding HLA-identical Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors among Thalassemia Families for Transplantation of Thalassemia Patients? [PDF]
Background: Thalassemia is probably the most common single gene disorder causing a major public health problem in the world. Currently, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative therapy for thalassemia.

Influence of DM-sensitivity on immunogenicity of MHC class II restricted antigens
Background Graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) is a major problem in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We previously described two types of endogenous human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-II restricted antigens depending on their behavior towards HLA-DM. While
