  2. Human leukocyte antigen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen

    The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is a complex of genes on chromosome 6 in humans that encode cell-surface proteins responsible for regulation of the immune system. [1] The HLA system is also known as the human version of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) found in many animals.

  3. History and naming of human leukocyte antigens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_and_naming_of...

    Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) began as a list of antigens identified as a result of transplant rejection. The antigens were initially identified by categorizing and performing massive statistical analyses on interactions between blood types. [1] This process is based upon the principle of serotypes.

  4. HLA-G - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-G

    HLA-G histocompatibility antigen, class I, G, also known as human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLA-G gene. [5] HLA-G belongs to the HLA nonclassical class I heavy chain paralogues. Classical HLA I proteins are found on all nucleated cells and express peptides in their peptide binding groove. They ...

  5. HLA-B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B

    HLA-B is part of a family of genes called the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex. The HLA complex helps the immune system distinguish the body's own proteins from proteins made by foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria. HLA is the human version of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a

  6. HLA-A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-A

    HLA-A is a group of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are encoded by the HLA-A locus, which is located at human chromosome 6p21.3. [1] HLA is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen specific to humans. HLA-A is one of three major types of human MHC class I transmembrane proteins. The others are HLA-B and HLA-C. [2]

  7. HLA-A*02 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-A*02

    HLA-A*02 (A*02) is a human leukocyte antigen serotype within the HLA-A serotype group. The serotype is determined by the antibody recognition of the α2 domain of the HLA-A α-chain. For A*02, the α chain is encoded by the HLA-A*02 gene and the β chain is encoded by the B2M locus. [1]

  8. HLA-B27 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B27

    Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 (subtypes B*2701-2759) [1] is a class I surface molecule encoded by the B locus in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 and presents antigenic peptides (derived from self and non-self antigens) to T cells.
