Description

Description: HLA-A, B, and C are ~45kD transmembrane glycoproteins in the major histocompatibility complex I (MHC I) family. They contain three alpha domains in their extracellular regions. HLA molecules are expressed on nearly all nucleated cells in association with the 12kD beta 2-Microglobulin. This complex binds peptides derived from pathogenic cytosolic or extracellular proteins such as viral or microbial proteins. It presents these peptides on the cell surface for recognition by the T cell receptor on CD8+ cytotoxic T cells. The activated cytotoxic T cell then kills the presenting cell. Mismatched MHC I alleles between a host and a donor lead to transplant rejection.
