Distinctive polymorphism at the HLA-C locus: implications for the expression of HLA-C
The HLA-C locus remains an enigma. The serological polymorphism is poorly defined, HLA-C molecules are expressed at the cell surface at about 10% the levels of HLA-A and -B, and their importance for antigen presentation to either CD8-bearing T cells or natural killer cells is unclear. Our understanding of HLA-C polymorphism has also lagged behind that of HLA-A and -B. We have applied the polyme...
متن کاملAllele-specific cytokine responses at the HLA-C locus, implications for psoriasis
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disorder that is inherited as a complex trait. Genetic studies have repeatedly highlighted HLA-C as the major determinant for psoriasis susceptibility, with the Cw*0602 allele conferring significant disease risk in a wide range of populations. Despite the potential importance of HLA-C variation in psoriasis, either via an effect on peptide presentation or immun...
متن کاملبررسی آلو آنتی ژنهای HLA-B، HLA-A و HLA-C در جمعیتی از استان اصفهان
A random sample of 500 healthy unrelated subjects from Esfahan province were HLA typed for A, 8 and C locus antigens. The lymphocytes were separated from 5 ml of whole peripheral blood and were typed for HLA _ A, 8 and C by using the standard two stage microlymphocytotoxicity NIH technique. The findings suggest that in the study population, frequency of HLA-Al' A2, A3, Ag HLA-8s, 83S and HLA-CW...
متن کاملAssociation between CTL Precursor Frequency to HLA-C Mismatches and HLA-C Antigen Cell Surface Expression
Previous studies showed the relevance of the cytotoxic T-cell precursor (CTLp) frequency assay for prediction of the outcome of HLA mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Recently, it has been shown that HLA-C cell surface expression is correlated with virus specific cytotoxic T-cell responses and viremia control in HIV patients. The aim of the current study was to investigate the...
متن کاملHLA-C locus alleles may modulate the clinical expression of psoriatic arthritis
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relative contribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C locus alleles in determining the risk and the clinical expression of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). One hundred PsA patients were randomly selected and grouped into three disease subsets: oligoarthritis (n = 40), polyarthritis (n = 25) and spondylitis (n = 35). The HLA-C locus profile of this c...
