background: pediatric bronchial asthma is associated with considerable morbidity. the study was carried out to examine the association of human leukocyte antigen (hla)- class ii with the disease as we found no similar study on asian indian population. objective: to define the hla-class ii antigens in asian indian pediatric patients with asthma. methods: a total of 103 children with asthma and 1...

background: in addition to human leukocyte antigens (hla) compatibility, gene polymorphisms in cytokines might also be important in the quality of allogeneic immune response. objective: to evaluate the influence of hla-dr matching and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after living-unrelated donor (lurd) kidney transplantation. methods: a total of 42 renal transplants pe...

Introduction: Diffuse Large B- cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is characterized by genetic and clinical heterogeneity. Different loci within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region have been implicated in susceptibility disease control of DLBCL. Methods: HLA typing was performed using Sequence-Specific Oligonucleotide (SSO) Primer (SSP) 60 DLBCL patients 250 healthy adult donors from local Bone Marrow r...

The leukocyte migration inhibition assay was used to detect cell-mediated immune reaction of hepatoma patients. Extraction of 3 pairs of human hepatoma tissue and normal liver tissue was made by 3 M KCI solution, and soluble hepatoma antigens were used to test against leukocytes of 18 hepatoma patients by the leukocyte migration inhibition assay. In all, 25 tests were performed; most of them we...
