Focal adhesion kinase mediates human leukocyte histocompatibility antigen class II-induced signaling in gingival fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background and Objective: The role of human leukocyte antigen class II molecules on nonantigen-presenting cells has been a matter of controversy. We previously reported that human leukocyte antigen class II molecules on human gingival fibroblasts do not ...

The puzzling relationship between human leukocyte antigen HLA genes and celiac disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, i.e., the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans, plays a pivotal role in the antigen presentation of intracellular and extracellular peptides and the regulation of innate and adaptive immune ...

HLA‐Bw4 homozygosity is associated with an impaired CD4 T cell recovery after initiation of antiretroviral therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We assessed the influence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles HLA-Bw4 and HLA-Bw6 on CD4 T cell recovery after starting successful combination antiretroviral therapy in 265 individuals. The median gains in the CD4 T cell count after 4 years were 258

Human Leukocyte Antigen Profile Predicts Severity of Autoimmune Liver Disease in Children of European Ancestry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background and Aims Genetic predisposition to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in adults is associated with possession of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I (A*01, B*08) and class II (DRB1*03, ‐04, ‐07, or ‐13) alleles, depending on geographic region ...

Position 156 influences the peptide repertoire and tapasin dependency of human leukocyte antigen B*44 allotypes

open access: yesHaematologica, 2012
Background Polymorphic differences between donor and recipient human leukocyte antigen class I molecules can result in graft-versus-host disease due to distinct peptide presentation. As part of the peptide-loading complex, tapasin plays an important role

Improving Access to HLA-Matched Kidney Transplants for African American Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionKidney transplants fail more often in Black than in non-Black (White, non-Black Hispanic, and Asian) recipients. We used the estimated physicochemical immunogenicity for polymorphic amino acids of donor/recipient HLAs to select weakly ...

Specific integrin alpha and beta chain phosphorylations regulate LFA-1 activation through affinity-dependent and -independent mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Integrins are adhesion receptors that are crucial to the functions of multicellular organisms. Integrin-mediated adhesion is a complex process that involves both affinity regulation and cytoskeletal coupling, but the molecular mechanisms behind this ...
