Nine major HLA class I supertypes account for the vast preponderance of HLA-A and -B polymorphism.

Immunogenetics - 1 Nov 1999

Sette A, Sidney J

Abstract excerpt

Herein, we review the epitope approach to vaccine development, and discuss how knowledge of HLA supertypes might be used as a tool in the development of such vaccines. After reviewing the main structural features of the A2-, A3-, B7-, and B44- supertype alleles, and biological data demonstrating their immunological relevance, we analyze the frequency at which these supertype alleles are expressed in various...
