1. Multiplex HLA-DR-DQ genotyping : for genetic epidemiology and clinical risk assessment
Sammanfattning : The human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are highly polymorphic cell surface proteins encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on chromosome 6. The HLA system has been well known as transplantation antigens but the primary biological role of the HLA molecules is regulation of immune response by presenting peptide fragments to T-lymphocytes.

2. Human leukocyte antigen in sickness and in health : Ankylosing spondylitis and HLA in Sweden
Sammanfattning : The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) plays a major role in keeping us healthy, but some of the HLA alleles can contribute to disease susceptibility. One example is HLA-B*27, which confers increased susceptibility of ankylosing spondylitis and represents one of the strongest genetic associations found in any common human disease. LÄS MER
3. Genetic typing of HLA polymorphism : application to studies of disease association and forensic medicine
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Tapasin - The star of the show in HLA-I maturation
Sammanfattning : Human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules are present on the cell surface of all nucleated cells. They bind intracellular peptides and present them to the immune system thus providing a readout to cytotoxic T-cells about the status of a cell. LÄS MER
5. HLA polymorphism : genomic typing and impact on unrelated stem cell transplantation
Sammanfattning : The HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) region is the most polymorphic in the human genome. The extended polymorphism contributes to the ability both of individuals and populations to combat diversity in the pathogens to which they are exposed. LÄS MER
