HLA-DRB1 allelic epitopes that associate with autoimmune disease risk or protection activate reciprocal macrophage polarization
Abstract Associations between particular human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and susceptibility to—or protection from—autoimmune diseases have been long observed. Allele-specific antigen presentation (AP) has been widely proposed as a culprit, but it is unclear whether HLA molecules might also hav...
