Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human leukocyte antigen class II (HLA-II) genes are highly polymorphic affecting the specificity of human antibody responses, as presentation of processed antigen peptides by HLA-II on B cells is essential for T helper cell dependent affinity maturation and class switching. The combination of high-throughput immunoassays and genome-wide association studies has recently revealed strong associations...
