BACKGROUND: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing is important for transplant patients to prevent a severe mismatch reaction, and the result can also support the diagnosis of various disease or prediction of drug side effects. However, such secondary ...
Neoantigens play important roles in cancer immunotherapy. Current methods used for neoantigen prediction focus on the binding between human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and peptides, which is insufficient for high-confidence neoantigen prediction. In th...
Typical analyses of mass spectrometry data only identify amino acid sequences that exist in reference databases. This restricts the possibility of discovering new peptides such as those that contain uncharacterized mutations or originate from unexpec...

INTRODUCTION: Serum soluble CD30 (sCD30), a 120-kD glycoprotein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, has been suggested as a marker of rejection in kidney transplant patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationsh...
BACKGROUND: MHC molecules are a highly diverse family of proteins that play a key role in cellular immune recognition. Over time, different techniques and terminologies have been developed to identify the specific type(s) of MHC molecule involved in ...
MOTIVATION: Neoantigens, derived from somatic mutations in cancer cells, can elicit anti-tumor immune responses when presented to autologous T cells by human leukocyte antigen. Identifying immunogenic neoantigens is crucial for cancer immunotherapy d...

Liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the primary method to obtain direct evidence for the presentation of disease- or patient-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA). However, compared to the analysis of tryptic peptides in pr...
The antibodies directed against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, which play a crucial role in allograft histocompatibility, are called anti-HLA antibodies. Anti-HLA antibodies against foreign HLA molecules may be present in patients with chro...
