Oliveira-Caramez M, Veiga-Castelli L, Souza A, Cardili R, Courtin D, Floria-Santos M, et al.
Cells . 2023 Feb; 12(4). PMID: 36831297
Vitiligo is the most frequent cause of depigmentation worldwide. Genetic association studies have discovered about 50 loci associated with disease, many with immunological functions. Among them is HLA-G, which modulates...

Oliveira M, Castelli E, Veiga-Castelli L, Pereira A, Marcorin L, Carratto T, et al.
HLA . 2022 Jun; 100(4):325-348. PMID: 35754199
Leukocyte immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptors (LILR) LILRB1 and LILRB2 may play a pivotal role in maintaining self-tolerance and modulating the immune response through interaction with classical and nonclassical HLA molecules. Although...

Castelli E, de Almeida B, Muniz Y, Silva N, Passos M, Souza A, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 Nov; 11(1):23070. PMID: 34845256
HLA-G is a promiscuous immune checkpoint molecule. The HLA-G gene presents substantial nucleotide variability in its regulatory regions. However, it encodes a limited number of proteins compared to classical HLA...

Castelli E, de Castro M, Naslavsky M, Scliar M, Silva N, Andrade H, et al.
Front Immunol . 2021 Oct; 12:742881. PMID: 34650566
Despite the high number of individuals infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) who develop coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms worldwide, many exposed individuals remain asymptomatic and/or uninfected...

Sonon P, Tokplonou L, Sadissou I, Mpo K, Glitho S, Agniwo P, et al.
Infect Genet Evol . 2021 Mar; 92:104828. PMID: 33781967
Background: Little attention has been devoted to the role of the immunoregulatory HLA-E/-F/-G genes in malaria. We evaluated the entire HLA-E/-F/-G variability in Beninese children highly exposed to Plasmodium falciparum...

Weiss E, Andrade H, Lara J, Souza A, Paz M, Lima T, et al.
Immunogenetics . 2021 Feb; 73(3):227-241. PMID: 33595694
KIR2DL4 is an important immune modulator expressed in natural killer cells; HLA-G is its main ligand. We have characterized the KIR2DL4 genetic diversity by considering the promoter, all exons, and...

Souza A, Sonon P, Paz M, Tokplonou L, Lima T, Porto I, et al.
HLA . 2020 Jul; 96(4):468-486. PMID: 32662221
Human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) is a classical HLA class I molecule that binds and presents peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the cell surface. HLA-C has a dual function because...

Lima T, Souza A, Porto I, Paz M, Veiga-Castelli L, Oliveira M, et al.
HLA . 2019 Jan; 93(2-3):65-79. PMID: 30666817
HLA-A is the second most polymorphic locus of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) complex encoding a key molecule for antigen presentation and NK cell modulation. Many studies have evaluated HLA-A...

Castelli E, Paz M, Souza A, Ramalho J, Mendes-Junior C
Hum Immunol . 2018 Aug; 79(9):678-684. PMID: 30122171
A challenging task when more than one HLA gene is evaluated together by second-generation sequencing is to achieve a reliable read mapping. The polymorphic and repetitive nature of HLA genes...

Oliveira M, Veiga-Castelli L, Marcorin L, Debortoli G, Pereira A, Fracasso N, et al.
Hum Immunol . 2018 Aug; 79(11):790-799. PMID: 30107212
Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a nonclassical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecule with immunomodulatory function and restricted tissue expression. The genetic diversity of HLA-G has been extensively studied in several...
