HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) gene is located on chromosome 6’s short arm, including several loci. genotyping necessary for transplantation, especially in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A cross-sectional study to determine the frequency of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 alleles 122 patients admitted National Children’s Hospital Hematopoietic transplantation from year between 2010 2020. Th...

164 Abstract We have developed an allotyping assay for detection of four HLA DRB1*01 group alleles based on polymerase chain reaction and solution hybridization in a microtiter plate. Using group specific primers a region within exon 2 of HLA DRB1 gene was amplified by PCR. Labeling of PCR product was achieved by adding small amount of Dig-dUTP in place of dTTP. Labeled PCR product was hybridiz...

As the demand for donors for bone marrow transplantation increases, the use of HLA-matched, genetically unrelated donors represents a promising strategy. It is well documented that the clinical outcome of bone marrow transplantation is directly dependent on optimal matching for HLA class I and class II specificities. Molecular studies have revealed the existence of a much larger number of HLA c...

analysis of  receptor–ligand  interactions  in  the  context  of  diseases  necessitates  to understand how hla–kir genotypes function in diseases. although cd56+  lymphocytes are derived from multiple lineages, they share a functional association with immunosurviellance and antimicrobial responses. the present study aimed to determine whether kir phenotype in cd56 lymphocytes and corresponding...

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex contains the most polymorphic genes in the human genome. The classical HLA class I and II genes define the specificity of adaptive immune responses. Genetic variation at the HLA genes is associated with susceptibility to autoimmune and infectious diseases and plays a major role in transplantation medicine and immunology. Currently, the HLA genes are cha...

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is the most polymorphic region known in the human genome. In the present study, we analyzed for the first time the HLA-A gene polymorphisms defined by the high-resolution typing methods-sequence-based typing (SBT) in 161 Northern Chinese Han people. A total of 74 different HLA-A gene types and 36 alleles were detected. The most frequent alleles were A*110101...

HLA, the most genetically diverse loci in the human genome, play a crucial role in host-pathogen interaction by mediating innate and adaptive cellular immune responses. A vast number of infectious diseases affect East Africa, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, but the HLA genetic diversity in this region remains incompletely described. This is a major obstacle for the design and eva...

background: miscarriage is a common phenomenon complicating more than half of pregnancies. recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) is defined as three or more pregnancies lost before the twentieth week of gestation. it is believed that abnormality in maternal immune reaction to fetus and sharing of hla antigens might be associated with rpl. objective: to investigate the effect of hla-drb1 sharing betwee...

33 34 The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes code for proteins that play a central role in the 35 function of the immune system by presenting peptide antigens to T cells. As HLA genes show 36 extremely high genetic polymorphism, HLA typing on the allele level is demanding and is based 37 on DNA sequencing. Determination of HLA alleles is warranted as many HLA alleles are major 38 genetic facto...

objective(s): htlvi-1 is the first human retrovirus with limited endemic regions in the world. the epidemiological studies have shown that the genetic background and immune response to the virus have a significant role in htlv-i-associated diseases.  among the genes are involved in htlv-i infection, the role of human leukocytes antigen (hla) have been studied in different population. in the pre...
