HLA Antigen Distribution in Sikhs from Punjab, India
نویسنده
چکیده
HLA class I antigen distribution of Sikh population from Punjab is presented. A total of 404 individual of Sikh community who were either donors for renal transplant recipients or staff in PGIMER Chandigarh were selected. HLA class I antigens (A and B) were identified using the standard National Institute of Health two stage micro lymphocytotoxicity assay. The phenotypic frequencies of HLA-A10 ,B5 ,B8 were found to be increased while the frequencies of HLA-A19, A28, B35 and B40 were found to be decreased when compared to another north Indian population. The two-locus haplotype analysis revealed highly significant positive linkage disequilibrium for A2-B21, A10-B8. Significant negative linkage disequilibrium was also seen A9-B8, A10-B5, A10-B7 and A9-B24 and positive linkage for A11-B5. Haplotype A2-B21 appears to be unique to Sikhs.

Background and Aims: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules play a substantial role in T Lymphocyte-mediated adaptive immune response. Down-regulation of HLA expression may help the tumor to escape from immune surveillance. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between HLA-G and HLA-E tissue distribution and the degree of tumor malignancy in human breast tumors. Materials and Methods:...
