Autosomal minor histocompatibility antigens; How genetic variants create diversity in immune targets [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) can be a curative treatment for hematological malignancies. Unfortunately, the desired anti-tumor or Graft-versus-Leukemia (GvL) effect is often accompanied with undesired side effects against ...

Phenotype frequencies of autosomal minor histocompatibility antigens display significant differences among populations. [PDF]
Minor histocompatibility (H) antigens are allogeneic target molecules having significant roles in alloimmune responses after human leukocyte antigen-matched solid organ and stem cell transplantation (SCT).

Determining the Quantitative Principles of T Cell Response to Antigenic Disparity in Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Alloreactivity compromising clinical outcomes in stem cell transplantation is observed despite HLA matching of donors and recipients. This has its origin in the variation between the exomes of the two, which provides the basis for minor ...

High-throughput identification of potential minor histocompatibility antigens by MHC tetramer-based screening: feasibility and limitations. [PDF]
T-cell recognition of minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHA) plays an important role in the graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT).

Prolonged Skin Graft Survival and Histocompatibility in Highly Inbred Miniature Swine [PDF]
Background. Pigs are potential organ donors for humans. Some proposed xenotransplant tolerance regimens require genetically identical cells from different animals (eg, juvenile bone marrow and mature organs or tissues).

CD4 Donor Lymphocyte Infusion Can Cause Conversion of Chimerism Without GVHD by Inducing Immune Responses Targeting Minor Histocompatibility Antigens in HLA Class II [PDF]
Under non-inflammatory conditions HLA class II is predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells. Therefore, donor CD4 T-cells after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) may mediate graft-vs.-leukemia reactivity without graft-vs.-host disease ...

Human minor histocompatibility antigens
For over five decades minor histocompatibility (mH) antigens have contmued to fascmate immimologists, mainly because of their minor but distinct role in transplantation but no less because of their as yet unknown nature In the 1970s lt became evident that mH antigens were recognized in a MHC restncted fashion, an important feature which was poorly ...

T-Cell Immunotherapies Targeting Histocompatibility and Tumor Antigens in Hematological Malignancies
Over the last decades, T-cell immunotherapy has revealed itself as a powerful, and often curative, strategy to treat blood cancers. In hematopoietic cell transplantation, most of the so-called graft-vs.-leukemia (GVL) effect hinges on the recognition of ...
