HLA-A belongs to the MHC (human leukocyte antigen= HLA) class I heavy chain receptors. The HLA-A is a heterodimeric receptor consisting of a HLA-A mature gene product and β2-microglobulin. The mature A chain is anchored in the membrane. MHC Class I molecules, like HLA-A, are expressed in nearly all cells, and present small peptides to the immune system which surveys for non-self peptides.

HLA-A is a locus on chromosome 6 that encodes for a large number of HLA-A alleles that are Class-I MHC receptors. HLA is located on the distal end of the HLA region.

[edit] Function

MHC Class I molecules present smaller peptides, generally 9mers but longer molecules are tolerated, to the immune system. Several target cells include CD8+ T-lymphocytes. In response to signalling these lymphocytes result in apototic cell death. This mechanism is the result of responses to viral infection or intracellular microbial infections in which, as a means of preventing propogation, affected cells are killed and the antigens are presented to the immune system for Class II presentation and antibody development. Over a short period of time antibodies develop that can neutralize the ability of viruses and invasive bacteria to invade cells.

[edit] Structure

The HLA-A chain forms a binding cleft much like the MHC Class II molecules, the sides of the cleft are composed of alpha helices, the base is beta sheet and one end the relative closure limits the optimal length of peptide.

[edit] Nomenclature

HLA alleles[13] and specificity
. Some Allele groups have been updated with recent information from the IMGT/HLA Database

Explanation - within each allele group there are alleles that are recognized by the serological typing for that group(e.g. A24-serotype) some within the group may also recognize the broad antigen typing (A9, A10, A19, A28) or only the broad antigen typing, some by alternative serological within the group (e.g. A2403), and some by no serological method. Obviously some groups are more closely related than other groups, and this is often reflected in broad antigen reactivity.
