HLA
Human lymphocyte antigen. One of a group of proteins found on the surface of white blood cells and other cells that play an important part in the body's immune response to foreign substances. These antigens vary from person to person, and an HLA test is done before organ transplantation to find out if tissues match between a donor and a recipient. Also called human leukocyte antigen. | ||||

human leukocyte antigens (HLA)
proteins located on the surface of the cell that help the immune system identify the cell either as one belonging to the body or as one from outside the body. Some patterns of these proteins may mean increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen)
A pattern of cell surface proteins that identifies the cell to the immune system as 'self' or 'non-self'. Certain patterns (haplotypes) as defined by DNA analysis can indicate a susceptibility to Type 1 diabetes.

HLA
the transplantation antigens (i.e., the antigens that are the major targets of rejection) of humans. These molecules have a role in regulating the immune response in general. There is a correlation between certain HLA antigens and certain diseases such that people with those HLA antigens are at higher risk for those diseases.
