HLA (MHC) class I and II HLA: human leukocyte antigen major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules Function: Presentation of peptide antigens (epitopes) to the immune system Classical HLA class I genes: HLA-A, -B, -C => ligand for TCR on CD8+ T cell Classical HLA class II genes: HLA-DR, -DQ, -DP => ligand for TCR on CD4+ T cell
Structure of MHC class I and class II 6p21.31 Peptide binding-cleft heavy (α) glycoprotein chain ~44 kDa heavy (α) glycoprotein chain ~34 kDa light (β) glycoprotein chain ~28 kDa β2-microglobulin light chain ~12 kDa (chromosome 15) HLA-DP A/B HLA-DQ A/B HLA-DR A/B HLA-A HLA-B HLA-C
HLA polymorphism HLA class I and II are the most polymorphic molecules/genes of the human genome: they thus show the highest diversity in allelic variants within the human population DR β-chain α-chain # of different alleles DQ DP β-chain α-chain β-chain α-chain

HLA polymorphism and polygeny Expression of HLA alleles is codominant: proteins of both alleles are expressed equally by the cell, and both proteins can present antigens to T-cells ...BOTH contribute to the diversity of MHC molecules expressed by an individual
HLA polymorphism and polygeny At the population level as many alleles are present at significant frequencies The diversity of HLA antigens endows populations with the increased capacity to deal with and respond to a wide variety of foreign antigens and pathogens that may change in time and place
