The distribution of HLA class I and class II determinants was investigated in 48 patients with parenchymal neurocysticercosis and in 295 healthy controls of the same ethnic group, the Mexican Mestizo population. Two antigens, A28 and DQw2, showed significantly differences in frequency between patients and controls; HLA A28 was increased (39.6% versus 15.6%; pc = 0.008), and HLA DQw2 was decreased (4.2% versus 31.7%; pc = 0.004) in neurocysticercosis patients. The relative risk for developing the disease in HLA A28 positive individuals was 3.55. Our results show that the major histocompatibility complex plays some role in the susceptibility and resistance to parenchymal neurocysticercosis, but the HLA genetic background of patients with neurocysticercosis does not seem to influence the severity of inflammatory response against cysticerci, nor is the disease sex related. 相似文献

A locus for an autosomal dominant form of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1) has been assigned to the short arm of chromosome 6 on the basis of linkage to the major histocompatibility system (HLA). In this study of a five-generation American black family, close linkage between the disease locus and both HLA and the coagulation factor XIIIA (F13A1) locus was excluded, and lod scores for all locations of the disease locus between HLA and F13A1 were less than -1.4. These results suggest that the locus causing spinocerebellar ataxia in this family is not in this region. However, the disease locus was found to be closely linked to a microsatellite polymorphism, D6S89, which is between HLA and F13A1. The maximum lod score for SCA1 and D6S89 is 4.90 at a recombination fraction of 0, both in males and in females. These data show that exclusion of close linkage to the HLA complex and F13A1 in a kindred with spinocerebellar ataxia does not rule out the possibility that the disease locus in that family is on 6p. Accordingly, all families segregating a dominantly inherited ataxia should be evaluated for linkage to D6S89, to determine whether the locus causing the disease is SCA1. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human gammaherpesvirus associated with malignancies of both epithelial and lymphoid origin. Efficient infection of the latent host reservoir B lymphocytes involves the binding of glycoproteins gp350/220 for initial attachment, followed by the concerted action of gH, gL, gB, and gp42 for membrane fusion. The type II membrane protein gp42 is required for infection of B cells and assembles into a complex with gH and gL. The cellular host receptor for gp42, class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA), has been structurally verified by crystallization analyses of gp42 bound to HLA-DR1. Interestingly, the crystal structure revealed a hydrophobic pocket consisting of many aromatic and aliphatic residues from the predicted C-type lectin domain of gp42 that in other members of the C-type lectin family binds major histocompatibility complex class I or other diverse ligands. Although the hydrophobic pocket does not bind HLA class II, mutational analyses presented here indicate that this domain is essential for EBV-induced membrane fusion. In addition, mutational analysis of the region of gp42 contacting HLA class II in the gp42-HLA-DR1 cocrystal confirms that this region interacts with HLA class II and that this interaction is also important for EBV-induced membrane fusion. 相似文献

溃疡性结肠炎(Ulcerativecolitis,uc)是一种直肠和结肠的慢性非特异性炎症性疾病,其病因至今仍未完全阐明,普遍认为与遗传因素和自身免疫异常有关。人类白细胞抗原(Humanleukocyteantigen,HLA)是人类主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)基因的编码产物,是调控人类免疫应答的关键因素之一,其中HLAII类基因参与外源性抗原的递呈,是目前研究的最为广泛的与炎症性肠病相关的区域。HLAII类基因中以HLA—DRB1等位基因的多态性最丰富,国内外大量研究均显示HLA—DRB1基因不仅与uc的发病密切相关,而且与UC的临床特点有关联,但研究的结果并不完全一致,而且其导致特定人群UC易感的分子生物学机制也不十分清楚。本文主要综述HLA.DRB1基因多态性与uc相关性的研究进展。 相似文献

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease with a complex genetic component. An association between RA and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex has long been observed in many different populations, and most studies have focused on a direct role for the HLA-DRB1 "shared epitope" in disease susceptibility. We have performed an extensive haplotype analysis, using 54 markers distributed across the entire HLA complex, in a set of 469 multicase families with RA. The results show that, in addition to associations with the DRB1 alleles, at least two additional genetic effects are present within the major histocompatibility complex. One of these lies within a 497-kb region in the central portion of the HLA complex, an interval that excludes DRB1. This genetic risk factor is present on a segment of a highly conserved ancestral A1-B8-DRB1*03 (8.1) haplotype. Additional risk genes may also be present in the HLA class I region in a subset of DRB1*0404 haplotypes. These data emphasize the importance of defining haplotypes when trying to understand the HLA associations with disease, and they clearly demonstrate that such associations with RA are complex and cannot be completely explained by the DRB1 locus. 相似文献

How cells coordinate the immune system activities is important for potentially life-saving organ or stem cell transplantations. Polymorphic immunoregulatory genes, many of them located in the human major histocompatibility complex, impact the process and assure the proper execution of tolerance-versus-activity mechanisms. In haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, on the basis of fully human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor–recipient pairs, adverse effects like graft versus leukaemia and graft versus host are observed and difficult to handle. So far, high-resolution HLA typing was performed with Sanger sequencing, but for methodological reasons information on additional immunocompetent major histocompatibility complex loci has not been revealed. Now, we have used microarray sequence capture and targeted enrichment combined with next generation pyrosequencing for 3.5 million base pair human major histocompatibility complex resequencing in a clinical transplant setting and describe 3025 variant single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions and deletions among recipient and donor in a single sequencing experiment. Taken together, the presented data show that sequence capture and massively parallel pyrosequencing can be used as a new tool for risk assessment in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. 相似文献

The HLA loci are a part of the genetic region known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In the last twenty years there has been an exponential growth in the application of DNA technology to the field of histocompatibility and immunogenetics. Histocompatibility between the patient and donor is a prerequisite for the success of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In haematopoietic stem cell transplantation allele-level typing needs to evaluate compatibility for the HLA-A,B,C Class I and DRB1 and DQB1 Class II loci in the average transplant program because it is well established that mismatches at certain HLA loci between donor-recipients are closely linked to the risk of graft versus host disease. Resolution at an antigen level in solid organ transplantation is currently sufficient for HLA-A,B and DR antigens and it could be achieved by serological or molecular biology techniques. In solid organ transplantation the definition of antibodies in the recipient to HLA antigens is more important and it was performed primarily by serological technique and more recently by solid phase immunoassays that are more sensitive and specific. 相似文献

Several HLA alleles are associated with attenuated human immunodeficiency virus disease progression. We explored the relationship between the expression of particular major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I alleles and viremia in simian immunodeficiency virus SIV(mac)239-infected macaques. Of the common MHC class I alleles, animals that expressed Mamu-A*01 exhibited the best control of viral replication. 相似文献

Two novel analytic methods to evaluate the roles of the HLA alleles of the human major histocompatibility complex in disease predisposition have been formulated and applied to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The HLA-DR antigens, as they are presently defined, are shown not to directly predispose individuals to IDDM. This result does not discount the possibility that subdivision of the DR antigens will yield the predisposing agents. In Caucasian populations, after consideration of the predisposing effect of the antigens DR3 and DR4, the protective effect of DR2 in predisposition is demonstrated. Additionally, DR1 and possibly DRw8 exhibit a higher than expected frequency in patients. 相似文献

Class I major histocompatibility proteins as cell surface receptors for simian virus 40 总被引:9,自引:2,他引:7
Class I major histocompatibility complex proteins appear to be the major cell surface receptors for simian virus 40 (SV40), as implied by the following observations. Adsorption of SV40 to LLC-MK2 rhesus monkey kidney cells specifically inhibited binding of a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against class I human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) proteins. Conversely, pretreatment of LLC-MK2 cells with anti-HLA MAbs inhibited infection by SV40. The ability of anti-HLA to inhibit infection was greatly reduced when the order of addition of the anti-HLA and the virus was reversed. Infection was also inhibited by preincubating SV40 with purified soluble class I protein. Finally, human lymphoblastoid cells of the Daudi line, which do not express class I major histocompatibility complex proteins, were infected at relatively low levels with SV40 virions. In a control experiment, we found that pretreatment of cells with a MAb specific for the leukocytic-function-associated antigen LFA-3 actually enhanced infection. This finding may also support the premise that class I major histocompatibility complex proteins are receptors for SV40. 相似文献

Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disease caused by sensitivity to the dietary protein gluten. Forty loci have been implicated in the disease. All disease loci have been characterized as low-penetrance, with the exception of the high-risk genotypes in the HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 genes, which are necessary but not sufficient to cause the disease. The very strong effects from the known HLA loci and the genetically complex nature of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have precluded a thorough investigation of the region. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that additional celiac disease loci exist within the extended MHC (xMHC). A set of 1898 SNPs was analyzed for association across the 7.6 Mb xMHC region in 1668 confirmed celiac disease cases and 517 unaffected controls. Conditional recursive partitioning was used to create an informative indicator of the known HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 high-risk genotypes that was included in the association analysis to account for their effects. A linkage disequilibrium-based grouping procedure was utilized to estimate the number of independent celiac disease loci present in the xMHC after accounting for the known effects. There was significant statistical evidence for four new independent celiac disease loci within the classic MHC region. This study is the first comprehensive association analysis of the xMHC in celiac disease that specifically accounts for the known HLA disease genotypes and the genetic complexity of the region. 相似文献

Recent genome scans have established the presence of a major psoriasis-susceptibility locus in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex on chromosome 6p21.3. To narrow the interval for candidate gene testing, we performed a linkage-disequilibrium analysis of 339 families, with the use of 62 physically mapped microsatellite markers spanning the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). As detected by use of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT), individual markers yielded significant linkage disequilibrium across most of the MHC. However, the strongest evidence for marker-trait disequilibrium was found in an approximately 300-kb region extending from the MICA gene to the corneodesmosin gene. Maximum-likelihood haplotypes were constructed across the entire MHC in the original sample and across a 1.2-Mb region of the central MHC in an expanded sample containing 139 additional families. Short (two- to five-marker) haplotypes were subjected to the TDT using a "moving-window" strategy that reduced the variability of TDT P values relative to the single-locus results. Furthermore, the expanded sample yielded a sharp peak of evidence for linkage disequilibrium that spanned approximately 170 kb and that was centered 100 kb telomeric to HLA-C. The 1.2-Mb interval was further dissected by means of recombinant ancestral haplotype analysis. This analysis identified risk haplotype 1 (RH1), which is a 60-kb fragment of ancestral haplotype 57.1, on all identifiable HLA risk haplotypes. One of these haplotypes exhibits significant linkage disequilibrium with psoriasis but does not carry Cw6, which is the HLA allele most strongly associated with the disease. These results demonstrate that RH1 is highly likely to carry the disease allele at PSORS1, and they exclude HLA-C and corneodesmosin with a high degree of confidence. 相似文献

The major histocompatibility complex class I molecules consist of three subunits, the 45-kDa heavy chain, the 12-kDa beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m), and an approximately 8-9-residue antigenic peptide. Without beta(2)m, the major histocompatibility complex class I molecules cannot assemble, thereby abolishing their transport to the cell membrane and the subsequent recognition by antigen-specific T cells. Here we report a case of defective antigen presentation caused by the expression of a beta(2)m with a Cys-to-Trp substitution at position 25 (beta(2)m(C25W)). This substitution causes misfolding and degradation of beta(2)m(C25W) but does not result in complete lack of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecule expression on the surface of melanoma VMM5B cells. Despite HLA class I expression, VMM5B cells are not recognized by HLA class I-restricted, melanoma antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes even following loading with exogenous peptides or transduction with melanoma antigen-expressing viruses. Lysis of VMM5B cells is restored only following reconstitution with exogenous or endogenous wild-type beta(2)m protein. Together, our results indicate impairment of antigenic peptide presentation because of a dysfunctional beta(2)m and provide a mechanism for the lack of close association between HLA class I expression and susceptibility of tumor cells to cytotoxic T lymphocytes-mediated lysis in malignant diseases. 相似文献

Summary The RD (D6S45) gene in the class III region of the HLA major histocompatibility complex encodes a protein normally containing 24 consecutive basic-acidic dipeptide repeats. We determined the frequency of variations in the number of repeats by use of the polymerase chain reaction. Of 107 subjects 7 (3.3%) carried genes encoding 22 or 23 repeats. There was no difference in the frequency of such polymorphisms between normal individuals and those with systemic lupus erythematosus, a disease associated with other polymorphisms in the class III region of HLA. The frequency of polymorphisms in proteins with oligopeptide repeats may provide useful information concerning functional constraints on repeat number. 相似文献

Background
The main genomic region controlling the predisposition to type 1 diabetes is the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) class II of the major histocompatibility complex. Association with different HLA types depends also on the studied populations. In our investigation, we tried to measure the phenotypic HLA class II association frequencies of DR3 and/or DR4 antigens, using a serologic method called microlymphocytotoxicity analysis, in diabetic and nondiabetic (ND) subjects originating from the west-Algerian region of Tlemcen. The aim of the present study was to determine which HLA DR antigens represent a high susceptibility to develop the disease in this area. Using a case-control retrospective study design, we randomly recruited ninety-one related subjects, 39 type 1 diabetics and 52 ND as controls, at the Internal Medicine Board of Medical Centre University of Tlemcen. 相似文献19.
Does HLA type predispose some individuals to cancer? 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Polymorphic human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are pivotal to the functioning immune system, and strong autoimmune disease associations with human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) have been established, although the precise mechanisms of these associations are not fully defined. There is now clear evidence of immunosurveillance in cancer, thus it seems reasonable to hypothesize that HLA types might predispose some individuals to particular malignancies. In addition, HLAs could influence the susceptibility or progression of a malignancy, and this might be most apparent in virally associated cancers. This article discusses the results and problems of searching for such HLAs and cancer associations. To date, it appears that no strong associations between HLAs and cancer risk exist. 相似文献

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E is a non-classical major histocompatibility complex class I molecule that binds peptides derived from the leader sequences of other HLA class I molecules. Natural killer cell recognition of these HLA-E molecules, via the CD94-NKG2 natural killer family, represents a central innate mechanism for monitoring major histocompatibility complex expression levels within a cell. The leader sequence-derived peptides bound to HLA-E exhibit very limited polymorphism, yet subtle differences affect the recognition of HLA-E by the CD94-NKG2 receptors. To better understand the basis for this peptide-specific recognition, we determined the structure of HLA-E in complex with two leader peptides, namely, HLA-Cw*07 (VMAPRALLL), which is poorly recognised by CD94-NKG2 receptors, and HLA-G*01 (VMAPRTLFL), a high-affinity ligand of CD94-NKG2 receptors. A comparison of these structures, both of which were determined to 2.5-Å resolution, revealed that allotypic variations in the bound leader sequences do not result in conformational changes in the HLA-E heavy chain, although subtle changes in the conformation of the peptide within the binding groove of HLA-E were evident. Accordingly, our data indicate that the CD94-NKG2 receptors interact with HLA-E in a manner that maximises the ability of the receptors to discriminate between subtle changes in both the sequence and conformation of peptides bound to HLA-E. 相似文献
