Previous studies showed that the HLA class I region is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and that HLA-A is the most likely candidate gene in this region. This suggests that antigenic presentation of EBV-derived peptides in the context of HLA-A is involved in the pathogenesis of EBV+ HL by precluding efficient immune responses. We genotyped exons 2 and 3, en...

Results from a pilot project indicate that isoflavones and exercise could have an additive effect on body composition and clinical risk factors of CVD in postmenopausal women. The objective of the present study was to assess the combined effect of exercise and isoflavones in overweight-to-obese postmenopausal women. In this double-blind randomised controlled trial, 100 overweight-to-obese (BMI ...

Abstract HLA class I molecules that represent ligands for the inhibitory killer cell Ig-like receptor (KIR) 3DL1 found on NK cells are categorically defined as those HLA-A and HLA-B allotypes containing Bw4 motif, yet KIR3DL1 demonstrates hierarchical recognition of these HLA-Bw4 ligands. To better understand molecular basis underpinning differential recognition, HLA-ABw4 family were investigat...

Peptide-MHC (pMHC) multimers have become one of the most widely used tools to measure Ag-specific T cell responses in humans. With the aim of understanding the requirements for pMHC-based personalized immunomonitoring, in which individuals expressing subtypes of the commonly studied HLA alleles are encountered, we assessed how the ability to detect Ag-specific T cells for a given peptide is aff...

objective: type 1 diabetes mellitus (t1d) is an autoimmune and multifactorial disorder. subsequent analysis on human leukocyte antigen ( hla) region shows that hla-drb1 and -dqb1 genes have the strongest association with t1d. in this study, for the first time, we investigated the influence of gender on the hla-drb1 and -dqb1 association with type 1 diabetes mellitus in iranian patients in order...

In this paper we emphasize the geometry of affine immersions, widely developed in recent years. Mathematics Subject Classification: 01-02, 01A65.
