Human leukocyte molecule

Family history of RA. Genetic studies demonstrate a strong correlation between RA and the presence of major histocompatibility complex class II human leukocyte antigens (HLA), specifically HLA-DR1 and HLA-DR4.4,5 HLA is a molecule associated with the presentation of antigens to T lymphocytes. 

This approach has been mainly applied to peptide-based inhibitors of proteases, where the inhibitory molecule is a peptide with a transition state isostere appended to it, and the cognate substrate is simply a peptide of the same amino acid sequence, but lacking the isostere functionality. Examples where good correlations between the free energy of inhibitor binding and the free energy of kcJKM have been found, include peptide-trifluoromethyl ketone inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase (Stein et al., 1987) and peptide-phosphonamidate inhibitors of the metalloprotease ther-molysin (Bartlett and Marlowe, 1983). 

First, we incubated immature dendritic cells (iDC) in the presence or absence of IRIV and could not observe upregulation of defined maturation markers. However, iDC incubation with supernatants harvested from IRIV stimulated PBMC cultures resulted in upregulation of CD86, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-class I molecules, and, in most cases, also of CD83 (6). These results demonstrate that IRIV-induced cytokine secretion of PBMC indeed favors maturation of DC.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA). The major human histocompatibility complex situated on chromosome 6. Human HLA-A, -B, and -C (resembling mouse H2k, d, and 1) are MHC class I molecules, whereas HLA-DP, -DQ, and -DR (resembling mouse I-A and I-E) are MHC class II molecules. 

Human leukocyte antigens are polymorphic cell-surface molecules that are intimately involved in the regulation of the immune response. The antigens are encoded by a series of closely linked genes known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which is located on the short arm of chromosome 6 (BIO). The complex extends over approximately 4000 kilobases or 4 x 10 nucleotides and contains three distinct subregions known as class I, class II, and class III (T19) (see Fig. 1).
