Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Predicting Kidney Transplant Survival using Multiple Feature Representations for HLAs [PDF]
Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Medicine (2021) 51-60, 2021 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 ...

Studies on the Contact Sensitization of Man with Simple Chemicals [PDF]
, 1975 Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) coupled to peripheral blood erythrocytes or leukocytes forms a particulate complex, DNCB-antigen. The addition of DNCB-antigen induced blastogenesis and DNA synthesis in leukocyte cultures from DNCB-sensitized human subjects ...

A Latent Space Model for HLA Compatibility Networks in Kidney Transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for people suffering from end-stage renal disease. Successful kidney transplants still fail over time, known as graft failure; however, the time to graft failure, or graft survival time, can vary significantly between different recipients.

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
, 2004 Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...

TripHLApan: predicting HLA molecules binding peptides based on triple coding matrix and transfer learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 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.
