 | | Doherty and Zinkernagel, who discovered that antigen presentation is restricted by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC, called HLA in humans), hypothesized that individuals heterozygous at particular MHC loci might be more resistant to particular infectious diseases than the corresponding homozygotes because heterozygotes could present a wider repertoire of antigens. | | | Vaccine designers have begun to take account of the HLA genotypes of potential recipients in choosing antigens for inclusion in a vaccine [15], and it has been suggested that HLA genotype be considered in designing samples for inclusion in epidemiologic studies of anti-HIV immune response [12]. | | | To demonstrate allele-specific overdominance for specific infections in human populations, improved analytic tools and/or larger studies (or studies in populations with limited HLA diversity) are necessary. |

| | The third theory suggests that the T-cell antigen is the true susceptibility factor, and a fourth theory implicates an innate etiology unrelated to HLA. | | | Synonyms and related keywords: acute unilateral alternating nongranulomatous iridocyclitis, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, acute anterior uveitis, AAU, human leukocyte antigen | | | The first human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype association with inflammatory disease was discovered in 1972 correlating HLA-B27 with ankylosing spondylitis. |
