The human leukocyte antigen system (HLA) is the name of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans.
The superlocus contains a large number of genes related to immune system function in humans.
This group of genes resides on chromosome 6, and encodes cell-surface antigen-presenting proteins and many other genes.
The HLA genes are the human versions of the MHC genes that are found in most vertebrates (and thus are the most studied of the MHC genes).
The proteins encoded by certain genes are also known as antigens, as a result of their historic discovery as factors in organ transplantations.
The major HLA antigens are essential elements for immune function.
Different classes have different functions: HLA class I antigens (A, B & C) present peptides from inside the cell (including viral peptides if present).
These peptides are produced from digested proteins that are broken down in the proteasomes.
The peptides are generally small polymers, about 9 amino acids in length.
Foreign antigens attract killer T-cells (also called CD8 positive- or cytotoxic T-cells) that destroy cells.
