HUMAN LEUCOCYTE ANTIGEN

Domain	Definition
Medicine	A glycoprotein found on the surface of all human leucocytes. The HLA region of chromosome 6 produces four such glycoproteins-A, B, C and D. Graft acceptance is largely dependent on matching these HLAs for donor and recipient, and there is evidence of a correlation between HLA types and various rheumatic diseases, e. g. HLA-B27 and ankylosing spondylitis. Source: European Union. (references)
