The class lb antigen HLA-G is expressed as a membrane-bound protein like classical class
la molecules (WHLA-G) but, unlike typical class I, isalso expressed as a soluble protein …

Distinct amino acid (aa) residue motifs for peptides binding to HLA-A1 and HLA-B8 were
identified by sequence analyses of reversed-phase HPLC fractions containing endogenous …

A motif specific to peptides that bind to the human class I major histocompatibility complex
molecule HLA-A3 was identified by sequence analysis of HPLC fractions containing …

Previous studies showed that HLA-E was expressed in lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL)
721.221 cells, but surface expression was lacking. To determine the signals controlling …

HLA-C molecules are poorly expressed at the cell surface compared with HLA-A and HLA-B
locus products. The reason for the low surface expression and the underlying mechanism is …

Abstract Soluble HLA-A,-B antigens have previously been detected in human plasma. More
recently, these molecules have been demonstrated to be secreted in water soluble form by …

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules generally present peptides (p) of 8 to 11
amino acids (aa) in length. Although an increasing number of examples with lengthy (> 11 …

Herein we describe the establishment of assays to measure peptide binding to purified HLA-
B* 0701,-B* 0801,-B* 2705,-B* 3501-03,-B* 5401,-Cw* 0401,-Cw* 0602, and-Cw* 0702 …

HLA-G is a nonclassical class I MHC molecule with an unknown function and with unusual
characteristics that distinguish it from other class I MHC molecules. Here, we demonstrate …

Nearly half of HLA-A2-positive individuals in African populations have a subtype of HLA-A2
other than the A* 0201 allele. We have isolated the common African HLA-A2 subtype genes …
