HLA-A Ab.IgG
Active
Description
HLA-A, along with HLA-B and HLA-C, is a class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) receptor, which are keys to antigen presentation in the immune system. It is coded by the HLA-A gene located at human chromosome 6p21.3. The class I molecules are heterodimers composed of one alpha subunit (the product of the class I gene) and a beta subunit, beta2 microglobulin. The high variability of this class of molecules is likely key to protecting the humans from pathogens, as it is more likely that a subset of the population will be highly immune to any given pathogen, and this diversity is reflected in the hundreds to thousands of possible alleles. However, the variability in HLA is also the reason for transplant rejection, and the detection of HLA antibodies in the transplant recipient has become a critical pre-transplant assessment.
