Induction of both membrane-bound and soluble HLA-G expression in active human cytomegalovirus infection.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Alteration of HLA expression or cytokine production plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. HLA-G has been suggested to be involved in HCMV infection, and modulation of HLA-G expression by ... Read more...

Women with pre-eclampsia have an altered NKG2A and NKG2C receptor expression on peripheral blood natural killer cells.

30 Aug 2009 PROBLEM: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy disorder, is associated with exaggerated inflammation and increased serum monokines. Uterine natural killer (NK) cells are implicated in preeclampsia pathology, but little is known regarding peripheral NK cells in ... Read more...

A lifetime versus a graft life approach redefines the importance of HLA matching in kidney transplant patients.

13 Jul 2009 INTRODUCTION: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching has been de-emphasized in the allocation of renal allografts and further discounting is planned in the new United Network of Organ Sharing kidney allocation model. An unforeseen consequence of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'HLA Antigens'

Definition: Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
