Objective: To explore the putative effects of Vitamin C (Vit C) on inhibition of human leucocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) expression of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (HPBMCs) induced by deoxynivalenol (DON) in vitro.
Methods: The effects of Vit C on the changes of HLA-I expression of HPBMCs induced by DON in vitro were evaluated with cell culture, flow cytometry (FCM), Western blotting and immunocytochemical methods.
Results: FCM analysis showed that HLA-I expression of HPBMCs in DON treated cells was significantly lower than that in controls (FI 0.88 +/- 0.02 vs 1.00 +/- 0.03, P < 0.05). As compared with DON group, the HLA-I expressions of HPBMCs in the two Vit C (25 micromol/L and 100 micromol/L) pretreatment groups were all significantly increased (1.15 +/- 0.06 and 1.10 +/- 0.02 vs 0.88 +/- 0.02, P < 0.05). Exposure to different dosage of Vit C alone could dramatically increase the expression of HLA-I of HPBMCs in vitro as compared with that in the normal control (FI for 25 micromol/L and 100 micromol/L Vit C treatment group was 1.28 +/- 0.03 and 1.25 +/- 0.05 respectively, P < 0.05). Immunocytochemical results showed that the percentages of HLA-I positive expression of HPBMCs in Vit C pretreatment groups at different dosages were significantly higher than those in DON group (70.10 +/- 6.90)%, (64.50 +/- 5.50)% vs (42.20 +/- 4.30)%, P < 0.05. Western blotting confirmed the results of FCM and immunocytochemistry.
Conclusions: Vitamin C pretreatment at different dosages could reverse at some extent the inhibitive effects of DON on HLA-I expression of HPBMCs.

Objective: To establish an efficient gene editing method of HLA-I gene to prepare HLA-I universal hematopoietic stem cells.
Methods: The easyedit small guide RNA(sgRNA) was designed according to the sequences of β2 microglobulin gene and synthesized by GenScript company. RNP complexes were formed by NLS-Cas9-NLS nuclease and Easyedit sgRNA according to different molar ratios (1∶1~1∶4).

Toxoplasma gondii infects approximately 30% of the population, and there is currently no approved vaccine. Identifying immunogenic peptides with high affinity to different HLA molecules is a promising vaccine strategy. This study used an in silico approach using artificial neural networks to identify T.

Human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) and class II (HLA-II) proteins play an essential role in epitope binding and presentation to initiate an immune response. Accurate prediction of peptide-HLA (pHLA) binding and presentation is critical for developing effective immunotherapies. However, current tools can predict antigens exclusively for pHLA-I or pHLA-II, but not both; have constraints on peptide length; and commonly show unsatisfactory predictive accuracy.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) provides a curative treatment option for hematological malignancies. After HLA-matched alloSCT, donor-derived T cells recognize minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHAs), which are polymorphic peptides presented by HLA on patient cells. MiHAs are absent on donor cells due to genetic differences between patient and donor.
