The HLA System: Genetics, Immunology, Clinical Testing, and Clinical Implications

The human major histocompatibility complex HLA is located on the short arm of chromosome 6. It is known to be the most polymorphic genetic system in humans. The biological role of the HLA class I and class II molecules is to present processed peptide antigens. The HLA system is clinically important as transplantation antigens. Molecular HLA allele typing is routinely performed to provide HLA cl...

The basic science description is, of necessity limited in scope and detail. Further explanation of the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in i...

Thus this work represents a review of the field as it stood then, rather than a collection of original research, for which its format of rapid offset printing is usually reserved. So although the book is a useful single source, it is rather unhappily organized to serve as an introduction to frozen blood for the uninitiated. The most useful and novel contributions are the ...
