Abstract excerpt
Allelic diversity of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes may help maintain humoral immunity against infectious diseases. In this study, we investigated germline genetic variation in classical HLA class II genes and employed a systematic, unbiased approach to explore the relative contribution of this genetic variation in the antibody repertoire to various common pathogens. We leveraged a well-defined...
