Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Human Leukocyte Antigen-G (HLA-G) is a non-classical MHC class I molecule.
  • It exhibits limited polymorphism, tissue-restricted distribution, and multiple isoforms (membrane-bound and soluble).
  • HLA-G plays a crucial role in establishing immune tolerance.

Purpose:

  • To review the current knowledge on HLA-G.
  • To explore its polymorphisms, expression, and functions.
  • To discuss its impact on immune-associated diseases and its therapeutic utility.

Summary:

  • HLA-G is distinguished from classical HLA class I by its unique characteristics.
  • It is increasingly recognized for its significant role in immune tolerance.
  • This review consolidates information on HLA-G's biology and clinical relevance.
