Help session: Tomorrow 6-8pm CIVL 3153
Alleles: different forms of one gene
Allotypes: different forms of one protein (isoforms)
Polymorphic: alternative forms of one gene = Many
alleles
Oligomorphic: a few forms of one gene = Few alleles
Monomorphic: no polymorphism
Homozygous: same allele on both inherited
chromosomes
Heterozygous: different allele on both inherited
chromosomes
MHC in humans is called HLA (human leukocyte
antigen complex)

Variable
Invariant
No rearrangements or somatic changes
Diversity is derived from 1) Gene families
2) Genetic polymorphism
HLA-A,B,C
-present peptide
antigens to CD8
Tcells and
interact
with NK-cells
HLA-E,G
-interact
with NK-cells
HLA-F
-?
HLA-DP,DQ,DR
- present peptide
antigens to CD4
Tcells
HLA-DM,DO
-regulate peptide

Human leukocyte antigen complex
Abs used to ID MHC molecules react with leukocytes not RBCs

Chromosome Organization of HLA complex
Chr6
2-microglobulin on chr15
•  and  chain = GeneA and GeneB
• Complicated nomenclature you don’t need to know
• Haplotype - combination of alleles inherited from Chr6
• 2% meiotic recombination rate generates population
diversity
• Cytokines coordinately regulate the group of genes class I heavy chain and other associated genes
• TAP transporter, Tapasin, Proteasome subunits - LMP2
and LMP7
Interferon , , and  ----> Class I , 2M, TAP, LMP2, LMP7
Interferon  ----> CIITA ---> HLA II genes, li chain
MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) - deficiency leads
to bare lymphcyte syndrome
MHC I (single peptide binding chain ): 3 genes
present antigen
HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C
MHC II (two chains,  and ): 3 genes present
antigen
HLA-DQ, HLA-DP, HLA-DR
Each MHC II locus encodes a gene for the  chain
and a gene for the  chain:
e.g. HLA-DQA, HLA-DQB => MHC II isoforms
HLA-DPA, HLA-DPB => MHC II isoforms
HLA-DRA, HLA-DRB => MHC II isoforms
Maternal: 3 MHC I genes
HLA-AM, HLA-BM, HLA-CM
Paternal: 3 MHC I genes
HLA-AP, HLA-BP, HLA-CP
6 different MHC I
proteins on all cells
Heterozygous
Maternal: 3 MHC II genes
HLA-DPAM, HLA-DPBM
HLA-DQAM, HLA-DQBM
HLA-DRAM, HLA-DRBM
Paternal: 3 MHC II genes
HLA-DPAP, HLA-DPBP
HLA-DQAP, HLA-DQBP
HLA-DRAP, HLA-DRBP
6 different MHC II
proteins on all cells
(some individuals
have 8 due to two
HLA-DRB genes)
Homozygous = one DR type
Heterozygous = up to four
DR types

Correlation is

HLA class I
Red – heterozygous for all the highly polymorphic HLA I
and II
Yellow - Homozygous for one locus
Blue - Homozygous for two or three loci

MHC selection by Infectious Disease
• Pathogens adapt to avoid MHC - recent MHC isoform may
provide a survival advantage (hence higher frequency level)
• Epidemic diseases place survival advantages on those who
can best present pathogenic peptides
• Only a minority of HLA alleles are common to all humans
- most are recent and specific to ethnic groups

MHC polymorphism and Organ Transplants
• Developing T cells that recognize complexes of peptide
and MHC molecules on HEALTY tissue (self-peptides
presented by self MHC) are DESTROYED
• This results in the preservation of T cells that recognize
non-self MHC (allogenic MHC). Called alloreactive T
cells (1-10%) of total T-cell repertoire
• IS is primed for rejection of foreign organs that express
allogenic MHC
