background: the study aimed to examine the association between human leukocyte antigen (hla) class ii allele frequencies and breast cancer in iranian women. methods: a total of 100 patients with pathologically proven breast cancer who referred to cancer institute were randomly selected and compared with a group of age matched healthy blood donors (n = 80). hla class ii alleles were determined b...

Background: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II has shown potential in determining prognosis, understanding medication reactions, and predicting onset of Graves’ disease. The aim this study is to further investigate the association between disease HLA II, specifically HLA-DQ HLA-DR, via meta-analysis find HLAs that can be examined for prognostic reasons.

Introduction: Pigeon Breeder’s Pneumonitis (PBP) results due to a complex pathophysiology that includes exposure avian antigens. Susceptibility has been linked human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II, though consensus not reached. The goal of this systematic review is further elucidate the association between PBP and HLA-DR subtypes.

the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome and have been widely studied in various populations and ethnic groups. investigations into the hla genes and proteins have been useful tool for anthropological, transplantation and disease association studies. the polymorphism of the hla class i (a, b, c) and class ii (drb1, dqa1, dqb1) genes were...

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...

the object of this cross sectional study was to determine the hcv subtype 3a envelope protein binding affinity with human leukocyte antigen. envelope 1 (e1) protein is one of the structural proteins responsible for entering the cells through the receptors. the binding affinity of e1 protein epitopes to the selected human leukocyte antigen (hla) class i alleles was investigated using the compute...

the human leukocyte antigen-b27 is one of the class i molecules of the major histocompatibility complex which is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis (as) . the strength of the disease association with b27 varies markedly among racial and ethnic populations. it is an allele family, which constitutes about 31 subtypes, with a considerable geographic and ethnic difference in distributi...

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...
