Title: HLA Antibody Educational Material Vault: DONOR CENTER - RELEASED; InfoCard#: DC-2526 Effective Date: 19 Sep 2016 UCLA Division of Transfusion Medicine Blood & Platelet Center Los Angeles, CA 90024 HLA Antibody Educational Material What is HLA? HLA stands for Human Leukocyte Antigen. HLA antigens are proteins found on most cells in your body. These antigens are inherited as a unique set from your parents. They allow for the regulation of your immune system. What is an antibody? Antibodies are proteins that are found in your plasma (the liquid portion of your blood). Your cells make antibodies in response to antigens on cells that are different from your own and foreign targets such as viruses and bacteria. Antibodies play a key role in the immune system. HLA antibodies are commonly formed in women during pregnancy, after receiving a blood transfusion or organ transplant. HLA antibodies pose absolutely no risk to you. However, HLA antibodies in donated plasma or plasma blood products may be dangerous to transfusion recipients. Are HLA antibodies harmful? HLA antibodies are not harmful to the person who made them. Your HLA antibodies pose absolutely no risk to you. However, if transfused to another person HLA antibodies can cause a rare but very serious complication in the transfusion recipients known as Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI). This complication is seen most frequently following transfusion of plasma or plasma blood products, such as platelets collected by apheresis. How is blood tested for HLA antibodies? A small sample of your blood is separated into cellular and liquids portions. The plasma or liquid portion is mixed with different HLA antigens. If there are HLA antibodies in the plasma they will react with the HLA antigens and give a positive result. What should I do if I test positive for HLA Antibody? You do not need to do anything if you test positive for HLA antibodies. Your HLA antibodies pose absolutely no risk to you. You will remain eligible to donate red blood cells. Unfortunately, you will no longer be eligible to donate plasma or plasma blood products, such as platelets collected by apheresis. .

Genetic Basis of Sjo¨Gren's Syndrome. How Strong Is the Evidence?
Clinical & Developmental Immunology, June–December 2006; 13(2–4): 209–222 Genetic basis of Sjo¨gren’s syndrome. How strong is the evidence? JUAN-MANUEL ANAYA1,2, ANGE´ LICA MARIÁ DELGADO-VEGA1,2,& JOHN CASTIBLANCO1 1Cellular Biology and Immunogenetics Unit, Corporacioń para Investigaciones Biolo´gicas, Medellıń, Colombia, and 2Universidad del Rosario, Medellıń, Colombia Abstract Sjo¨gren’s syndrome (SS) is a late-onset chronic autoimmune disease (AID) affecting the exocrine glands, mainly the salivary and lachrymal. Genetic studies on twins with primary SS have not been performed, and only a few case reports describing twins have been published. The prevalence of primary SS in siblings has been estimated to be 0.09% while the reported general prevalence of the disease is approximately 0.1%. The observed aggregation of AIDs in families of patients with primary SS is nevertheless supportive for a genetic component in its etiology. In the absence of chromosomal regions identified by linkage studies, research has focused on candidate gene approaches (by biological plausibility) rather than on positional approaches. Ancestral haplotype 8.1 as well as TNF, IL10 and SSA1 loci have been consistently associated with the disease although they are not specific for SS. In this review, the genetic component of SS is discussed on the basis of three known observations: (a) age at onset and sex-dependent presentation, (b) familial clustering of the disease, and (c) dissection of the genetic component. Since there is no strong evidence for a specific genetic component in SS, a large international and collaborative study would be suitable to assess the genetics of this disorder.

Ionizing radiation has complex effects on tumor microenvironment: beyond its action as a direct cytotoxic agent, tumor irradiation triggers a series of alterations in tumoral cells, which includes the de novo synthesis of particular proteins and the up/down- regulation of cell surface molecules. Major Histocompatability Complex antigens (also called Human Leukocyte Antigns, HLA in humans) are one of those molecules whose expression is modulated after irradiation. This review summarizes the immunomodulatory properties of ionizing radiation on the expression of HLA class I (classical and non-classical) and class II molecules, with special emphasis in non-classical HLA-I molecules. INTRODUCTION MHC molecules could be divided in two major classes: MHC class I and MHC class II.

Introduction The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is a cluster of gene complex encoding the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins known as antigens located on the cell mem- brane of leukocytes in humans from which its name was derived. The functions of these cell surface proteins are many like responsible for the regulation of the immune system whether humoral or cellular in humans. It is the most important area in the vertebrate genome regard- ing infection and autoimmunity, and is essential in adaptive and innate immunity. The HLA gene complex is located on a 3-Mbp stretch within short arm of chromosome number 6p21. HLA genes are codominantly expressed and highly polymorphic, those have many different alleles that modify the adaptive immune system that helps body to distinguish the body’s own protein from foreign invaders protein like virus, bacteria, or any other pathogens [1, 2]. 1.1. Classification The antigens of the HLA complex can be classified into three classes: class 1, class 2, and class 3. 1-MHC class I: There are three major and three minor MHC class I genes in HLA.

Associations of Human Leukocyte Antigens with Autoimmune Diseases: Challenges in Identifying the Mechanism
Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 60, 697–702 & 2015 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/15 www.nature.com/jhg REVIEW Associations of human leukocyte antigens with autoimmune diseases: challenges in identifying the mechanism Hiroko Miyadera1,2 and Katsushi Tokunaga2 The mechanism of genetic associations between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and susceptibility to autoimmune disorders has remained elusive for most of the diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and type 1 diabetes (T1D), for which both the genetic associations and pathogenic mechanisms have been extensively analyzed. In this review, we summarize what are currently known about the mechanisms of HLA associations with RA and T1D, and elucidate the potential mechanistic basis of the HLA–autoimmunity associations. In RA, the established association between the shared epitope (SE) and RA risk has been explained, at least in part, by the involvement of SE in the presentation of citrullinated peptides, as confirmed by the structural analysis of DR4-citrullinated peptide complex. Self-peptide(s) that might explain the predispositions of variants at 11β and 13β in DRB1 to RA risk have not currently been identified. Regarding the mechanism of T1D, pancreatic self-peptides that are presented weakly on the susceptible HLA allele products are recognized by self-reactive T cells. Other studies have revealed that DQ proteins encoded by the T1D susceptible DQ haplotypes are intrinsically unstable. These findings indicate that the T1D susceptible DQ haplotypes might confer risk for T1D by facilitating the formation of unstable HLA–self-peptide complex. The studies of RA and T1D reveal the two distinct mechanistic basis that might operate in the HLA–autoimmunity associations.

Major Histocomptability Complex in Humans Proteins Coded by the Genes of the Major Histocompatabilty Complex (MHC) Include Human
Major Histocomptability Complex In humans proteins coded by the genes of the major histocompatabilty complex (MHC) include human leukocyte antigen(HLA) as well as other proteins. HLA proteins are present on the surface of most of the body’s cells and are important in helping the immune system distinguish self from non self molecules, cells and others. MHC molecule is a cell surface glycoprotein receptor present in APCs and acts as antigen presenting structure It plays vital role in immune recognition, including interaction between T cells and other cell types. In humans the MHC is located on the short arm of chromosome 6 , in mice it is found on chromosome 17. HLA is the human version of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a gene group that occurs in many species. In humans, the MHC complex consists of more than 200 genes located close together on chromosome 6. Genes in this complex are categorized into three basic groups: class I, class II, and class III. Humans have three main MHC class I genes, known as HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C. The proteins produced from these genes are present on the surface of almost all cells. On the cell surface, these proteins are bound to protein fragments (peptides) that have been exported from within the cell. MHC class I proteins display these peptides to the immune system. If the immune system recognizes the peptides as foreign (such as viral or bacterial peptides), it responds by triggering the infected cell to self- destruct. There are six main MHC class II genes in humans: HLA-DPA1, HLA- DPB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DRA, and HLA-DRB1.

Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity As outlined in the CPT Molecular Pathology procedures sections, Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing is performed to assess compatibility of recipients and potential donors as a part of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell/ bone marrow pretransplant testing. HLA testing is also performed to identify HLA alleles and allele groups (antigen equivalents) associated with specific diseases and individualized responses to drug therapy (e.g., HLA-B*27 and ankylosing spondylitis and HLA-B57:01 and abacavir hypersensitivity), as well as other clinical uses. One or more HLA genes may be tested in specific clinical situations (e.g., HLA A, B, C,-DRB1, and DQB1 for kidney transplantation). Each HLA gene typically has multiple variant alleles or allele groups that can be identified by typing. HLA antigens are divided into types: Class I (A, B, C) and Class II (DR, DP, DQ). The primary use for HLA testing is to match organ and tissue transplant recipients with compatible donors. Different kinds of transplants necessitate different levels of matching between donor and intended recipient.
