Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) diversity and clinical applications in South Africa.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde - 10 Sept 2019

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex, known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex in humans, forms an integral component of adaptive T cell immunity by presenting self and non-self peptides to the T cell receptor, thereby allowing clonal expansion of responding peptide-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. HLA likewise forms an integral part of the innate immune response through the binding of killer-cell...
