In males, ASAs cause ＇immune infertility＇ by decreasing sperm counts and normal forms, as well as reducing sperm motility and viability, markedly reducing the likelihood of natural conception. The development of ASA in the male depends on the release of sequestered antigens on germ cells following the disruption of the blood-testis barrier.展开更多

HLA-B22 antigen showed an increased frequency of 43.3% in the patient group(relative risk=8.69; exact P<0.0001; corrected P<0.0025) compared with normal control group(frequency=7.69%). This association suggests that immunogenetic factor may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada's disease.展开更多

Culture cells were collected 1, 3, 5 and 7days after infection. The levels of expression of HLAclass II antigen were measured by using alkaline phos-phatase antialkaline phosphatase method (APAAP).Results: The levels of the expression of HLA class IIantigen on monocytes significantly decreased on thefirst day of post-infection, and then gradually returnedto levels found in the controls by the 7th day post-infection.Conclusion: HLA class II antigen expression onmonocytes was inhibited with HSV-2 infection, whichmight be one means of virus escape at an early phase.The expression of HLA class II antigen may play animportant role in herpes simplex viurs-2 pathogenic-ity and immunity.展开更多

Nineteen infertile patients without endometriosis were studied as controls. The results showed that the expression of HLA DR antigen in the glandular cells in both eutopic and ectopic endometrium was increased significantly as compared with that in the controls ( P <0.01). It is likely that aberrant expression of HLA DR antigen in endometriotic tissue is involved in abormal immunogenesis of endometriosis.展开更多

A total of 517 consecutive individuals were followed in this study from February 2009 through July 2011. The presence of HLA-B*5701 was determined by Nested-PCR with HLA-B*57 and HLA-B*5701 sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). The expression of HLA-B*57 was negative in the 385 (74.5%) and positive in the 103 (19.9%) of infected individuals. Among these, the expression of HLA-B5701 was positive in the 29 (5.6%) of individuals. No demographic or ethnic differences were found between HLA-B*57/HLA-B*5701 HIV-1 negative patients, with a prevalence of Caucasians (57.1%) individuals. During the period of study, 68 patients were submited to an abacavir contain- ing regimen. The HLA-B*5701 allele was observed in 7 (10.3%) patients, with a significant incidence of Hypersensitivity reactions at 4 of them (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Although Brazilian population consists of a mixture of individuals of Caucasian, African and Native American genetic background, prevalence of HLA-B*5701 in this population is similar to the one found in pure Caucasians.展开更多
