The role of HLA ‐G in parasitic diseases
Little attention has been devoted to the role of HLA‐G gene and molecule on parasitic disorders, and the available studies have focused on malaria, African and American trypanosomiasis, leishmaniosis, toxoplasmosis and echinococcosis. After reporting a brief description regarding the role of the cells of innate and adaptive immune system against parasites, we reviewed the major features of the HLA‐G gene and molecule and the role of HLA‐G on the major cells of immune system. Increased levels of soluble HLA‐G (sHLA‐G) have been observed in patients presenting toxoplasmosis and in the active phase of echinococcosis...

More than 150 novel variants of HLA class I genes detected in German Stem Cell Donor Registry and UCLA International Cell Exchange samples
Abstract High throughput analysis using amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) of HLA class I genes in samples of registered stem cell donors of the German Stem Cell Donor Registry Düsseldorf revealed 151 novel variants. In addition, 4 new variants were identified in well‐defined samples obtained from the UCLA International Cell Exchange program. New alleles included 37 HLA‐A, 57 HLA‐B, and 61 HLA‐C variant alleles. All variants were confirmed by NGS of HLA‐A, HLA‐B, and HLA‐C genes including the respective 5´ and 3´ untranslated regions as well as Sanger sequence analysis. Mainly, the variant...
