Background: Due to high genetic variation in human leukocyte antigen )HLA( alleles, epitope-based vaccines don’t show equal efficacy in different human populations. therefore, we proposed a multi-epitope vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 for Iranian populations. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the proteins without allergenicity and high antigenicity as well as conservancy level from SARS-CoV...

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...

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes have been associated with susceptibility and protection against a number of cancers. Here we used an immunogenetic epidemiological approach to evaluate the overall influence 127 HLA Class I II alleles on 30 types cancer. We found preponderance protective (negatively correlated cancer prevalences), especially for I. Of cancers investigated, 13 were mostly effe...

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...
