Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I and II Variants in Yemeni Patients with Chronic Renal Failure
Background: Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are found to be significant genetic factors concerning the susceptibility of an individual to certain diseases. Objective: To determine the association between variants of class I (A and B) and class II (DRB1) HLA alleles and chronic renal failure (CRF), compared with healthy controls, in Yemen. Methods: A case-control study in the Urology and Nephrol...
متن کاملP-164: Human Leukocyte Antigen Class Ib and Pregnancy Success
Background: During pregnancy, the maternal immune system is in close contact with cells and tissue from the semiallogenic fetus .The Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) class Ib molecules, HLA-E, -F and -G, are expressed at the materno-fetal interface. Because of the apparent immunoregulatory functions of these proteins, they may be involved in successful acceptance of the semi-allogenic fetus during...
متن کاملAnalysis of Human Leukocyte Antigen class II Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Patients with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome: a Family Study
Background: Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early development of aggressive pe-riodontitis. Although cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations have been established in about 70-80% of PLS patients, it is assumed that the patients may have dysfunctioning of immune defense mechanisms. Objective: To assess the associat...
متن کاملPresence of Antibodies against Self Human Leukocyte Antigen Class II Molecules in Autoimmune Hepatitis
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) can arise de novo after liver transplantation (LT) for non-autoimmune liver diseases. Considering the identical features of de novo AIH after LT and classical AIH, as well as the importance of anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies in graft rejection, we investigated the presence of circulating anti-HLA class II antibodies in the sera of 35 patients with AIH, 3...
متن کاملHuman Leukocyte Antigen Class II in Stimulated Polymorphnuclear Neutrophils
Polymorphnuclear neutrophils (PMN) possess a very short half-life in the circulation because they constitutively undergo apoptosis (Gasmi et al., 1996; Stringer et al., 1996; Moulding et al., 1998). Under certain conditions PMN play an important role in the effectors arm of host immune defense through the clearance of immune complexes, the phagocytosis of opsonized particles, and the release of...
