HLA-A,B,C: Patterns of Polymorphism in Peptide-Binding Proteins

  • Chapter
Immunobiology of HLA

Abstract

It is now over 50 years since Gorer’s discovery of H-2 (1,2) and 30 years since Dausset’s description of the first HLA specificity — HLA-A2 (3). Just prior to this conference, that same molecule provided the first three-dimensional structure of a transplantation antigen (4,5), enabling the synthesis and rationalization of a large body of information. The same period also witnessed the passing of Peter Medawar (6) and John Humphrey (7), pioneers in transplantation immunology and the genetics of immune responsiveness.
