The genetic factors associated with susceptibility or resistance to viral infections are likely to
involve a sophisticated array of immune response. These genetic elements may modulate …

ABSTRACT NK cell effector function is regulated by a range of activating and inhibitory
receptors, and many of their known ligands are MHC class I molecules. Human NK …

We have updated the catalogue of common and well‐documented (CWD) human leukocyte
antigen (HLA) alleles to reflect current understanding of the prevalence of specific allele …

In histocompatibility testing some genotype ambiguities are almost always resolved into the
genotype with the most common alleles. To achieve unambiguous assignments additional …

Molecular differences between HLA alleles vary up to 57 nucleotides within the peptide
binding coding region of human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes, but it is still …

Polymorphic products of HLA class I genes restrict cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses to the
constantly evolving spectrum of HIV-1 antigens. Accordingly, homozygosity at class I loci can …

In addition the change of name of the gene HLA-DNA to HLA-DOA, as published in the
monthly updates, was confirmed, following further results showing that the gene codes for …

The importance of HLA class I-restricted CD8 T-cell responses in the control of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is generally accepted. While several studies have …

The biochemical properties of the HLA‐C antigen differ substantially from those of HLA‐A
and‐B molecules. For this reason, HLA‐C diversity and expression at the cell surface are …

The setpoint of viral RNA concentration (viral load [VL]) during chronic human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection reflects a virus-host equilibration closely …
