We have developed a new high-throughput, high-resolution genotyping method for the detection of alleles at the human leukocyte
antigen (HLA)-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 loci by combining polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence-specific oligonucleotide
probes (SSOPs) protocols with the Luminex 100 xMAP flow cytometry dual-laser system to quantitate fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides
attached to color-coded microbeads. In order to detect the HLA alleles with a frequency of more than 0.1% in the Japanese
population, we created 48 oligonucleotide probes for the HLA-A locus, 61 for HLA-B, 34 for HLA-C, and 51 for HLA-DRB1. The
accuracy of the PCR–SSOP–Luminex method was determined by comparing it to the nucleotide sequencing method after subcloning
into the plasmid vector using 150 multinational control samples obtained from the International HLA DNA Exchange University
of California Los Angeles. In addition, we performed the PCR–SSOP–Luminex method for HLA allele typing on DNA samples collected
from 1,018 Japanese volunteers. Overall, the genotyping method exhibited an accuracy of 85.91% for HLA-A, 85.03% for HLA-B,
97.32% for HLA-C, and 90.67% for HLA-DRB1 using 150 control samples, and 100% for HLA-A and -C, 99.90% for HLA-B, and 99.95%
for HLA-DRB1 in 1,018 Japanese samples. The PCR–SSOP–Luminex method provides a simple, accurate, and rapid approach toward
multiplex genotyping of HLA alleles to the four-digit or higher level of resolution in the Japanese population. It takes only
approximately 5 h from DNA extraction to the definition of HLA four-digit alleles at the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1
loci for 96 samples when handled by a single typist. 相似文献

Aims
Being one of the most polymorphic genetic systems , the Human Leukocyte Antigen system is divided into class I (HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DP, -DQ and -DR). This study is the first and largest of its kind to describe the distribution of HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 alleles in Lebanon and the region.Methods
Respectively, 560 and 563 Lebanese individuals referred for HLA typing and possible bone marrow/kidney donation were tested for HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 alleles using the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific priming (PCR-SSP) method.Results
Our data were compared to that of several populations with interesting common findings between the Lebanese, Jordanian, Bahraini, Saudi, Kuwaiti, Tunisian, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Irish, Bulgarian and Polish populations.Conclusion
These data about the Lebanese population are going to aid future researchers to study the relation of HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 alleles with major and common diseases in the Lebanese population and will add to the available international literature associated with these loci. In addition it will serve as a reference for the future national bone marrow registry program in our country. We also reviewed the literature for the described association between HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 loci and different disease entities. 相似文献3.
Genetic variation at classical HLA alleles is a crucial determinant of transplant success and susceptibility to a large number of infectious and autoimmune diseases. However, large-scale studies involving classical type I and type II HLA alleles might be limited by the cost of allele-typing technologies. Although recent studies have shown that some common HLA alleles can be tagged with small numbers of markers, SNP-based tagging does not offer a complete solution to predicting HLA alleles. We have developed a new statistical methodology to use SNP variation within the region to predict alleles at key class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) and class II (HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, and HLA-DQB1) loci. Our results indicate that a single panel of approximately 100 SNPs typed across the region is sufficient for predicting both rare and common HLA alleles with up to 95% accuracy in both African and non-African populations. Furthermore, we show that HLA alleles can be successfully predicted by using previously genotyped SNPs that are within the MHC and that had not been chosen for their ability to predict HLA alleles, such as those included on genome-wide products. These results indicate that our methodology, combined with an extended database of reference haplotypes, will facilitate large-scale experiments, including disease-association studies and vaccine trials, in which detailed information about HLA type is valuable. 相似文献

Background
HLA genotyping by next generation sequencing (NGS) requires three basic steps, PCR, NGS, and allele assignment. Compared to the conventional methods, such as PCR-sequence specific oligonucleotide primers (SSOP) and -sequence based typing (SBT), PCR-NGS is extremely labor intensive and time consuming. In order to simplify and accelerate the NGS-based HLA genotyping method for multiple DNA samples, we developed and evaluated four multiplex PCR methods for genotyping up to nine classical HLA loci including HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1/3/4/5, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DPB1.Results
We developed multiplex PCR methods using newly and previously designed middle ranged PCR primer sets for genotyping different combinations of HLA loci, (1) HLA-DRB1/3/4/5, (2) HLA-DQB1 (3.8 kb to 5.3 kb), (3) HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and (4) HLA-DPB1 (4.6 kb to 7.2 kb). The primer sets were designed to genotype polymorphic exons to the field 3 level or 6-digit typing. When we evaluated the PCR method for genotyping all nine HLA loci (9LOCI) using 46 Japanese reference subjects who represented a distribution of more than 99.5% of the HLA alleles at each of the nine HLA loci, all of the 276 alleles genotyped, except for HLA-DRB3/4/5 alleles, were consistent with known alleles assigned by the conventional methods together with relevant locus balance and no excessive allelic imbalance. One multiplex PCR method (9LOCI) was able to provide precise genotyping data even when only 1 ng of genomic DNA was used for the PCR as a sample template.Conclusions
In this study, we have demonstrated that the multiplex PCR approach for NGS-based HLA genotyping could serve as an alternative routine HLA genotyping method, possibly replacing the conventional methods by providing an accelerated yet robust amplification step. The method also could provide significant merits for clinical applications with its ability to amplify lower quantity of samples and the cost-saving factors.Electronic supplementary material

The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) is a critical genetic system for different outcomes after solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplantation. Its polymorphism is usually determined by molecular technologies at the DNA level. A potential role of HLA allelic expression remains under investigation in the context of the allogenic immune response between donors and recipients. In this study, we quantified the allelic expression of all three HLA class I loci (HLA-A, B and C) by RNA sequencing and conducted an analysis of expression quantitative traits loci (eQTL) to investigate whether HLA expression regulation could be associated with non-coding gene variations. HLA-B alleles exhibited the highest expression levels followed by HLA-C and HLA-A alleles. The max fold expression variation was observed for HLA-C alleles. The expression of HLA class I loci of distinct individuals demonstrated a coordinated and paired expression of both alleles of the same locus. Expression of conserved HLA-A~B~C haplotypes differed in distinct PBMC’s suggesting an individual regulated expression of both HLA class I alleles and haplotypes. Cytokines TNFα /IFNβ, which induced a very similar upregulation of HLA class I RNA and cell surface expression across alleles did not modify the individually coordinated expression at the three HLA class I loci. By identifying cis eQTLs for the HLA class I genes, we show that the non-coding eQTLs explain 29%, 13%, and 31% of the respective HLA-A, B, C expression variance in unstimulated cells, and 9%, 23%, and 50% of the variance in cytokine-stimulated cells. The eQTLs have significantly higher effect sizes in stimulated cells compared to unstimulated cells for HLA-B and HLA-C genes expression. Our data also suggest that the identified eQTLs are independent from the coding variation which defines HLA alleles and thus may be influential on intra-allele expression variability although they might not represent the causal eQTLs. 相似文献

In order to investigate the polymorphism of Alu insertions (POALINs) in the HLA region, we genotyped ten Alu loci (AluMICB, AluTF, AluHJ, AluHG, AluHF in the HLA class I region and AluDPB2, AluDQA2, AluDQA1, AluDRB1, AluORF10 in the HLA class II region) to determine their allele frequencies and associations with the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-DRB1 genes in the Chinese Han population. Our results showed the ten-loci POALINs varied in frequency between 0.003 and 0.425. By comparing the data of the ten-loci POALIN in Chinese Han with Japanese and Caucasian data, marked differences were observed between the three ethnic groups at the allelic or haplotypic levels. Each POALIN was in significant linkage disequilibrium with a variety of HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 alleles, and was associated with a variety of HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 allele in Chinese Han. This comparative study of multilocus POALINs in the HLA class I and II regions of the Chinese Han population shows that POALINs alone or as haplotypes together with the HLA class I and II alleles are informative genetic markers for the identification of HLA class I and II allele and variations, such as crossing over events within the same and/or different populations. 相似文献

Although studies of HLA and disease now date back some 50 years, a principled understanding of that relationship has been slow to emerge. Here, we examine the associations of three HLA loci with medically refractory pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pALL) patients in a case-control study involving 2,438 cases and 41,750 controls. An analysis of alleles from the class I loci, HLA-A and HLA-B, and the class II locus DRB1 illuminates a spectrum of extremely significant allelic associations conferring both predisposition and protection. Genotypes constructed from predisposing, protective, and neutral allelic categories point to an additive mode of disease causation. For all three loci, genotypes homozygous for predisposing alleles are at highest disease risk while the favorable effect of homozygous protective genotypes is less striking. Analysis of A-B and B-DRB1 haplotypes reveals locus-specific differences in disease effects, while that all three loci influence pALL; the influence of HLA-B is greater than that of HLA-A, and the predisposing effect of DRB1 exceeds that of HLA-B. We propose that the continuum in disease susceptibility suggests a system in which many alleles take part in disease predisposition based on differences in binding affinity to one or a few peptides of exogenous origin. This work provides evidence that an immune response mediated by alleles from several HLA loci plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of pALL, adding to the numerous studies pointing to a role for an infectious origin in pALL. 相似文献

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an acute, multifocal, monophasic, inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that affects predominantly children. Aim of the study was to evaluate the distribution of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class II haplotype in adult ADEM patients, in order to better characterize this rare clinical entity. Six patients (3 males and 3 females; median age 50 years) with ADEM were retrospectively studied in our Neurology Unit; 29 healthy subjects (8 males and 21 females, mean age 43.4±14.3) were the control group. All the study subjects were molecularly typed for HLA class II haplotype. The frequencies of HLA-DRB1*16 (17% vs 3% in control group; Py=0.02) and HLA-DQB1*05 (42% against 24% in the control group; Py=0.010), as well as the association HLA-DRB1*16/HLA-DQB1*05 were significantly increased in ADEM population compared to the control group. The frequencies of allelic association between 13-04 (P < 0.01) and homozygosis 14 (P < 0.05) alleles at HLA-DRB1* locus and 05-02 (P < 0.05) alleles at HLA-DQB* locus also were increased in ADEM patients. Our preliminary data provide further evidence that the HLA-DR/DQ haplotypes may be involved in susceptibility to immunomediate demyelinating diseases of central nervous system in the Caucasian population. 相似文献

Importance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II alleles on the risk of multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease of the central nervous system of unknown etiology. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus on chromosome 6 confers a considerable part of the susceptibility to MS, and the most important factor is the class II allele HLA-DRB1*15:01. In addition, we and others have previously established a protective effect of HLA-A*02. Here, we genotyped 1,784 patients and 1,660 healthy controls from Scandinavia for the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-DRB1 genes and investigated their effects on MS risk by logistic regression. Several allele groups were found to exert effects independently of DRB1*15 and A*02, in particular DRB1*01 (OR = 0.82, p = 0.034) and B*12 (including B*44/45, OR = 0.76, p = 0.0028), confirming previous reports. Furthermore, we observed interaction between allele groups: DRB1*15 and DRB1*01 (multiplicative: OR = 0.54, p = 0.0041; additive: AP = 0.47, p = 4 × 10(-06)), DRB1*15 and C*12 (multiplicative: OR = 0.37, p = 0.00035; additive: AP = 0.58, p = 2.6 × 10(-05)), indicating that the effect size of these allele groups varies when taking DRB1*15 into account. Analysis of inferred haplotypes showed that almost all DRB1*15 bearing haplotypes were risk haplotypes, and that all A*02 bearing haplotypes were protective as long as they did not carry DRB1*15. In contrast, we found one class I haplotype, carrying A*02-C*05-B*12, which abolished the risk of DRB1*15. In conclusion, these results confirms a complex role of HLA class I and II genes that goes beyond DRB1*15 and A*02, in particular by including all three classical HLA class I genes as well as functional interactions between DRB1*15 and several alleles of DRB1 and class I genes. 相似文献

To identify possible associations between host genetic factors and the onset of liver fibrosis following Schistosoma japonicum infection, the major histocompatibility class II alleles of 84 individuals living on an island (Jishan) endemic for schistosomiasis japonica in the Poyang Lake Region of Southern China were determined. Forty patients exhibiting advanced schistosomiasis, characterised by extensive liver fibrosis, and 44 age and sex-matched control subjects were assessed for the class II haplotypes HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1. Two HLA-DRB1 alleles, HLA-DRB1*0901 (P=0.012) and *1302 (P=0.039), and two HLA-DQB1 alleles, HLA-DQB1*0303 (P=0.012) and *0609 (P=0.037), were found to be significantly associated with susceptibility to fibrosis. These associated DRB1 and DQB1 alleles are in very strong linkage disequilibrium, with DRB1*0901-DQB1*0303 and DRB1*1302-DQB1*0609 found as common haplotypes in this population. In contrast, the alleles HLA-DRB1*1501 (P=0.025) and HLA-DQB1*0601 (P=0.022) were found to be associated with resistance to hepatosplenic disease. Moreover, the alleles DQB1*0303 and DRB1*0901 did not increase susceptibility in the presence of DQB1*0601, indicating that DQB1*0601 is dominant over DQB1*0303 and DRB1*0901. The study has thus identified both positive and negative associations between HLA class II alleles and the risk of individuals developing moderate to severe liver fibrosis following schistosome infection. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mutations that confer escape from cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) recognition can sometimes result in lower viral fitness. These mutations can then revert upon transmission to a new host in the absence of CTL-mediated immune selection pressure restricted by the HLA alleles of the prior host. To identify these potentially critical recognition points on the virus, we assessed HLA-driven viral evolution using three phylogenetic correction methods across full HIV-1 subtype C proteomes from a cohort of 261 South Africans and identified amino acids conferring either susceptibility or resistance to CTLs. A total of 558 CTL-susceptible and -resistant HLA-amino acid associations were identified and organized into 310 immunological sets (groups of individual associations related to a single HLA/epitope combination). Mutations away from seven susceptible residues, including four in Gag, were associated with lower plasma viral-RNA loads (q < 0.2 [where q is the expected false-discovery rate]) in individuals with the corresponding HLA alleles. The ratio of susceptible to resistant residues among those without the corresponding HLA alleles varied in the order Vpr > Gag > Rev > Pol > Nef > Vif > Tat > Env > Vpu (Fisher's exact test; P < or = 0.0009 for each comparison), suggesting the same ranking of fitness costs by genes associated with CTL escape. Significantly more HLA-B (chi(2); P = 3.59 x 10(-5)) and HLA-C (chi(2); P = 4.71 x 10(-6)) alleles were associated with amino acid changes than HLA-A, highlighting their importance in driving viral evolution. In conclusion, specific HIV-1 residues (enriched in Vpr, Gag, and Rev) and HLA alleles (particularly B and C) confer susceptibility to the CTL response and are likely to be important in the development of vaccines targeted to decrease the viral load. 相似文献

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology, associated with an accumulation of CD4+ T cells and a TH1 immune response. Since previous studies of HLA associations with sarcoidosis were limited by serologic or low-resolution molecular identification, we performed high-resolution typing for the HLA-DPB1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DRB1, and HLA-DRB3 loci and the presence of the DRB4 or DRB5 locus, to define HLA class II associations with sarcoidosis. A Case Control Etiologic Study of Sarcoidosis (ACCESS) enrolled biopsy-confirmed cases (736 total) from 10 centers in the United States. Seven hundred six (706) controls were case matched for age, race, sex, and geographic area. We studied the first 474 ACCESS patients and case-matched controls. The HLA-DRB1 alleles were differentially distributed between cases and controls (P<.0001). The HLA-DRB1*1101 allele was associated (P<.01) with sarcoidosis in blacks and whites and had a population attributable risk of 16% in blacks and 9% in whites. HLA-DRB1-F(47) was the amino acid residue most associated with sarcoidosis and independently associated with sarcoidosis in whites. The HLA-DPB1 locus also contributed to susceptibility for sarcoidosis and, in contrast to chronic beryllium disease, a non-E(69)-containing allele, HLA-DPB1*0101, conveyed most of the risk. Although significant differences were observed in the distribution of HLA class II alleles between blacks and whites, only HLA-DRB1*1501 was differentially associated with sarcoidosis (P<.003). In addition to being susceptibility markers, HLA class II alleles may be markers for different phenotypes of sarcoidosis (DRB1*0401 for eye in blacks and whites, DRB3 for bone marrow in blacks, and DPB1*0101 for hypercalcemia in whites). These studies confirm a genetic predisposition for sarcoidosis and present evidence for the allelic variation at the HLA-DRB1 locus as a major contributor. 相似文献

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex contains the most polymorphic genes in the human genome. The classical HLA class I and II genes define the specificity of adaptive immune responses. Genetic variation at the HLA genes is associated with susceptibility to autoimmune and infectious diseases and plays a major role in transplantation medicine and immunology. Currently, the HLA genes are characterized using Sanger- or next-generation sequencing (NGS) of a limited amplicon repertoire or labeled oligonucleotides for allele-specific sequences. High-quality NGS-based methods are in proprietary use and not publicly available. Here, we introduce the first highly automated open-kit/open-source HLA-typing method for NGS. The method employs in-solution targeted capturing of the classical class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C) and class II HLA genes (HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPA1, HLA-DPB1). The calling algorithm allows for highly confident allele-calling to three-field resolution (cDNA nucleotide variants). The method was validated on 357 commercially available DNA samples with known HLA alleles obtained by classical typing. Our results showed on average an accurate allele call rate of 0.99 in a fully automated manner, identifying also errors in the reference data. Finally, our method provides the flexibility to add further enrichment target regions. 相似文献

IntroductionHuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphism studies in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) have yielded variable results. These studies need to consider the genetic admixture of the studied population. Here we used our previously reported definition of genetic admixture of Mexicans using HLA class I and II DNA blocks to map genetic susceptibility to develop SSc and its complications.MethodsWe included 159 patients from a cohort of Mexican Mestizo SSc patients. We performed clinical evaluation, obtained SSc-associated antibodies, and determined HLA class I and class II alleles using sequence-based, high-resolution techniques to evaluate the contribution of these genes to SSc susceptibility, their correlation with the clinical and autoantibody profile and the prevalence of Amerindian, Caucasian and African alleles, blocks and haplotypes in this population.ResultsOur study revealed that class I block HLA-C*12:03-B*18:01 was important to map susceptibility to diffuse cutaneous (dc) SSc, HLA-C*07:01-B*08:01 block to map the susceptibility role of HLA-B*08:01 to develop SSc, and the C*07:02-B*39:05 and C*07:02-B*39:06 blocks to map the protective role of C*07:02 in SSc. We also confirmed previous associations of HLA-DRB1*11:04 and –DRB1*01 to susceptibility to develop SSc. Importantly, we mapped the protective role of DQB1*03:01 using three Amerindian blocks. We also found a significant association for the presence of anti-Topoisomerase I antibody with HLA-DQB1*04:02, present in an Amerindian block (DRB1*08:02-DQB1*04:02), and we found several alleles associated to internal organ damage. The admixture estimations revealed a lower proportion of the Amerindian genetic component among SSc patients.ConclusionThis is the first report of the diversity of HLA class I and II alleles and haplotypes Mexican patients with SSc. Our findings suggest that HLA class I and class II genes contribute to the protection and susceptibility to develop SSc and its different clinical presentations as well as different autoantibody profiles in Mexicans. 相似文献

Human killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) recognize A3/11, Bw4, C1, and C2 epitopes carried by mutually exclusive
subsets of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, and -C allotypes. Chimpanzee and orangutan have counterparts to HLA-A, -B,
and -C, and KIR that recognize the A3/11, Bw4, C1, and C2 epitopes, either individually or in combination. Because rhesus
macaque has counterparts of HLA-A and -B, but not HLA-C, we expected that rhesus KIR would better recognize HLA-A and -B,
than HLA-C. Comparison of the interactions of nine rhesus KIR3D with 95 HLA isoforms, showed the KIR have broad specificity
for HLA-A, -B, and -C, but vary in avidity. Considering both the strength and breadth of reaction, HLA-C was the major target
for rhesus KIR, followed by HLA-B, then HLA-A. Strong reactions with HLA-A were restricted to the minority of allotypes carrying
the Bw4 epitope, whereas strong reactions with HLA-B partitioned between allotypes having and lacking Bw4. Contrasting to
HLA-A and -B, every HLA-C allotype bound to the nine rhesus KIR. Sequence comparison of high- and low-binding HLA allotypes
revealed the importance of polymorphism in the helix of the α1 domain and the peptide-binding pockets. At peptide position 9, nonpolar residues favor binding to rhesus KIR, whereas charged
residues do not. Contrary to expectation, rhesus KIR bind more effectively to HLA-C, than to HLA-A and -B. This property is
consistent with major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-C having evolved in hominids to be a generally superior ligand for
KIR than MHC-A and MHC-B. 相似文献

Poor assembly of class I major histocompatibility HLA-C heavy chains results in their intracellular accumulation in two forms: free of and associated with their light chain subunit (beta(2)-microglobulin). Both intermediates are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum by promiscuous and HLA-dedicated chaperones and are poorly associated with peptide antigens. In this study, the eight serologically defined HLA-C alleles and the interlocus recombinant HLA-B46 allele (sharing the HLA-C-specific motif KYRV at residues 66-76 of the alpha1-domain alpha-helix) were compared with a large series of HLA-B and HLA-A alleles. Pulse-labeling experiments with HLA-C transfectants and HLA homozygous cell lines demonstrated that KYRV alleles accumulate as free heavy chains because of both poor assembly and post-assembly instability. Reactivity with antibodies to mapped linear epitopes, co-immunoprecipitation experiments, and molecular dynamics simulation studies additionally showed that the KYRV motif confers association to the HLA-dedicated chaperones TAP and tapasin as well as reduced plasticity and unfolding in the peptide-binding groove. Finally, in vitro assembly experiments in cell extracts of the T2 and 721.220 mutant cell lines demonstrated that HLA-Cw1 retains the ability to form a peptide-receptive interface despite a lack of TAP and functional tapasin, respectively. In the context of the available literature, these results indicate that a single locus-specific biosynthetic bottleneck renders HLA-C peptide-selective (rather than peptide-unreceptive) and a preferential natural killer cell ligand. 相似文献

This study investigates the different Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genotypes and their possible associations with both disease
and behavior, specifically by describing significant associations between particular HLA genotypes and occurrence of intentional
violent death. A de-identified dataset of n = 216,426 deceased American organ donors was analyzed for all possible genotypes by comparing the Independent Variable (Each
specific HLA genotype vs. remainder of sample, non-genotype) on the Dependent Variable (Intentional Violent vs. Non-violent
death). For HLA-A, 17 heterozygotes were significantly associated with increased occurrence of intentional violent death,
with heightened prevalence for HLA-A2, HLA-A23, HLA-A30, HLA-A68, and HLA-A74 alleles. For HLA-B, 32 heterozygotes were significant,
25 of which (e.g., HLA-B7, HLA-B8, HLA-B35, HLA-B44, and HLA-B53) exhibited heightened prevalence of violent death. For HLA-BW,
homozygotes had significantly increased odds ratios for intentional violent death. For HLA-DRB1, 19 heterozygotes were significant,
with heightened prevalence only for the HLA-DRB1-4 allele. There were no racial differences in risk for the significant HLA-A
and HLA-B genotypes. These exploratory, not necessarily causal, results provide the first indications of possible HLA-aggression
associations in humans, supporting animal models. 相似文献

The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) delivers the viral proteolytic products generated by the proteasome in the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum lumen that are subsequently recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). However, several viral epitopes have been identified in TAP-deficient models. Using mass spectrometry to analyze complex human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-bound peptide pools isolated from large numbers of TAP-deficient vaccinia virus-infected cells, we identified 11 ligands naturally presented by four different HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C class I molecules. Two of these ligands were presented by two different HLA class I alleles, and, as a result, 13 different HLA-peptide complexes were formed simultaneously in the same vaccinia virus-infected cells. In addition to the high-affinity ligands, one low-affinity peptide restricted by each of the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C class I molecules was identified. Both high- and low-affinity ligands generated long-term memory CTL responses to vaccinia virus in an HLA-A2-transgenic mouse model. The processing and presentation of two vaccinia virus-encoded HLA-A2-restricted antigens took place via proteasomal and nonproteasomal pathways, which were blocked in infected cells with chemical inhibitors specific for different subsets of metalloproteinases. These data have implications for the study of the effectiveness of early empirical vaccination with cowpox virus against smallpox disease. 相似文献
