Human Leukocyte Antigen Diversity: A Southern African Perspective.

Journal of immunology research - 1 Jan 2015

Tshabalala Mqondisi, Mellet Juanita, Pepper Michael S

Abstract excerpt

Despite the increasingly well-documented evidence of high genetic, ethnic, and linguistic diversity amongst African populations, there is limited data on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) diversity in these populations. HLA is part of the host defense mechanism mediated through antigen presentation to effector cells of the immune system. With the high disease burden in southern Africa, HLA diversity data is...
