P-145: Role of Human Leukocyte Antigen in Miscarriage
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 کاملAllosensitization and the Ventricular Assist Device: Dual Evolution of Technology
Heart failure is a growing worldwide phenomenon, affecting more than 10 million people between the U.S. and Europe [1]. The quality of life for advanced heart failure patients is poor, with repeat hospitalizations and high rates of mortality. With the aging of the general popu‐ lation the number of people experiencing heart failure will rise. Cardiac transplantation has been the goal for some p...
متن کاملHuman 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 کاملHuman leukocyte antigen epitope antigenicity and immunogenicity.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies are now recognized as being specific for epitopes which can be defined structurally with amino acid differences between HLA alleles. This article addresses two general perspectives of HLA epitopes namely antigenicity, that is their reactivity with antibody and immunogenicity, that is their ability of eliciting an antibody response. RE...
