Abstract excerpt
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is the scarring of heart muscles by autoimmunity, leading to heart abnormalities and patients with sarcoidosis with cardiac involvements have poor prognoses. Due to the small number of patients, it is difficult to stratify all patients of CS by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) analysis. We focused on the structure of antigen-recognizing pockets in heterodimeric HLA-class II, in addition to...
