Abstract Background iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) banks of lines with homozygous HLA (human leukocyte antigen) haplotypes (haplobanks) are proposed as an affordable and off-the-shelf approach to allogeneic transplantation derived cell therapies. Cord blood offer extensive source HLA-typed cells suitable for reprogramming iPSC. Several initiatives worldwide have been undertaken create na...

Autoimmune reaction in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is caused by genetic and environmental factors. The genes HLA-DQA1 HLA-DQB1 are strongly associated with T1DM. Other established markers of T1DM were Zinc Transporter 8 Antibody (ZnT8), Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody-65 (GAD65), C-peptide. This study aims to analyze ZnT8, GAD65, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, C-peptide Indonesian children A cros...

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...

background: rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is the most common chronic inflammatory erosive joint disease with the worldwide distribution of approximately 0.5-1%. molecular methods can be very sensitive in the early stage diagnosis of the disease and therefore prevention the late complications and disabilities. etiology of ra, an autoimmune disease, is not exactly known but immunologic and genetic fa...

background: myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular junction characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability. different genes may control the induction and clinical presentation of this disease. various hla alleles are reported as predisposing or protective genetic elements in myasthenia gravis. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the probable ass...

Background Following the launch of global COVID-19 vaccination campaign, there have been increased reports autoimmune diseases developing de novo following vaccination. These cases include rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, and connective tissue diseases. Nevertheless, vaccines are considered safe for patients with strongly recommended. Objectives The aim this ...

Background: It has been arguedthat unprecedented degree of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci polymorphism within a population is requiredto avoid the devastating effects of infectious diseases. The present study was conducted to determine the associations between some of HLA classI genes and the outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods: Using sequential sampling method, 64 individ...
