Detailed explanation-1: -The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a term used to describe a group of genes in animals and humans that encode a variety of cell surface markers, antigen-presenting molecules, and other proteins involved in immune function. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex is synonymous with the human MHC.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most important function of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecule is in the induction, regulation of immune responses and the selection of the T cell repertoire. A clinician’s attention is normally drawn to a system only when it malfunctions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) restrict immune responses by binding antigenic peptides and presenting them in the context of self to T lymphocytes. In transplantation, a vigorous T cell response, termed alloreactivity, is caused by recognition of non-self HLA.
Detailed explanation-4: -PIKA as an adjuvant enhances specific humoral and cellular immune responses following the vaccination of mice with HBsAg plus PIKA.
