The Multifaceted Role of Non-human Leukocyte Antigens’ Immune Response in Renal Allograft Rejection
In renal transplantation (RT), human leukocyte antigens (HLA) expressed on donor cells are the principal targets of the recipient’s immune system. In addition to classical HLA-alloantibodies, the importance of non-HLA antibodies (Abs) in RT is being ...

Impaired Intracellular Transport and Cell Surface Expression of Nonpolymorphic HLA-E [PDF]
The assembly of the classical, polymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum requires the presence of peptide ligands and ~2-microglobulin (~2m). Formation of this trimolecular complex is a prerequisite for e~

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the preferred modality of kidney replacement therapy for eligible patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), given that it has been found to reduce mortality rates, improve quality of life, and is cost ...

Recognition of Human Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-E Complexed with HLA Class I Signal Sequence–derived Peptides by D94/NKG2 Confers Protection from Natural Killer Cell–mediated Lysis [PDF]
Human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E is a nonclassical HLA class I molecule, the gene for which is transcribed in most tissues. It has recently been reported that this molecule binds peptides derived from the signal sequence of HLA class I ...

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction is associated with an increased number of non-HLA antibodies
International audienceBackground: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the major cause of adverse outcomes in lung transplant recipients. Multiple factors, such as infection, alloimmunity, and autoimmunity, may lead to CLAD.

THE ROLE OF PRE-TRANSPLANT AND DE NOVO ALLOANTIBODIES IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
Kidney transplant recipients may have pre-transplant alloantibodies or develop de novo anti-HLA and non- HLA antibodies after transplantation. Although these antibodies may be donor-specific or non-donor-specific, their presence may increase the risk for

IntroductionAntibody mediated rejection (ABMR) is the most common cause of long-term allograft loss in kidney transplantation (KT). Therefore, a low human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch (MM) load is favorable for KT outcomes.
