Protocol
Natural killer (NK) cell alloreactivity can be exploited in haploidentical (one haplotype mismatched) haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to prevent leukaemia relapse, rejection, and graft-vs-host ...
Article
We have previously shown that several multicopy gene families within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) arose from a process of segmental duplication. It has also been observed that retroelements play...
Article
Susceptibility to several disorders, including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis, has been associated with alleles of HLA class II genes and loci in the TNF cluster in the central major ...
Article
Article
The evolutionary relationship between two central major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, C4 and CYP21, was investigated by employing pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and conventional restriction fra...
Article
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) contains multiple and diverse genes which may be relevant to the induction adn regulation of autoimmune responses in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In ad...
Article
The region between tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and HLA-B in the central major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is polymorphic and associated with several autoimmune diseases. The polymorphisms are haplospecific o...
Article
The association of HLA A1, B8, and DR3 with generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) ini Caucasoids is well established, but no particular gene has been implicated and there is still no adequate explanation in functio...
Article
Two major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ancestral haplotypes (AH) HLA A24, Bw52, C2C, BfS, C4A3 + 2, C4BQO, DRw15, DQw6 (52.1) and HLA A24, Cw7, B7, C2C, BfS, C4A3 + 3, C4B1, DR1, DQw5 (7.2), which occur with ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The MHC comprises three megabases and includes both HLA and central polymorphic non HLA genes which are relevant to the immune response. Alleles at all MHC genes occur together in specific combinations or hapl...
Article
Five sets of cytotoxic effector cells were generated, using haploidentical, first degree relatives in five different families, against the HLA-A3; B7 serological determinants combined with different DR antigen...
