HLA-G plays an important role in the induction of immune tolerance. Various attempts to produce good manufacturing practice levels of HLA-G as a therapeutic molecule have failed to date partly due to the complicated structure of full-length HLA-G1. Truncated HLA-G3 is simpler and easier to produce than HLA-G1 and contains the expected functional epitope in its only α1 monomorphic domain. In this study, we engineered the ER retrieval and retention signal on HLA-G3's cytoplasmic tail by replacing its RKKSSD motif with RAASSD. We observed that mutated HLA-G3 was highly expressed on the cell surface of transduced K562 cells but did not inhibit cytotoxicity of natural killer cells.

Objectives: Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) plays a crucial role in pregnancy. Pregnancy loss (PL) is caused by a variety of causes, such as fetal chromosomal abnormalities, maternal hypertension and diabetes, immune causes, spontaneous immune diseases, infections, unknown causes, etc. This study reports on the association of fetal HLA-G 3'UTR polymorphisms and diplotypes with chromosomally abnormal fetuses (CAF) or unexplained pregnancy loss (UPL).

In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) immune escape mechanism allows leukemia cells to proliferate and expand and it might also be responsible for disease progression. Some molecules involved in the regulation of an immune system might represent prognostic value for CLL patients. Among numerous immune escape mechanisms it was shown that the expression of human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) might represent one of the agents damaging cellular immune response.

Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a pivotal protein involved in immune regulation and tolerance, while systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Research indicates that variations and mutations in HLA-G may impact SLE development. This study aimed to explore the relationship between polymorphisms in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the HLA-G gene and SLE.

Genetic aberrations and immune escape are fundamental in MDS and CMML initiation and progression to sAML. Therefore, quantitative and spatial immune cell organization, expression of immune checkpoints (ICP), classical human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) and the non-classical HLA-Ib antigens were analyzed in 274 neoplastic and 50 non-neoplastic bone marrow (BM) biopsies using conventional and multiplex immunohistochemistry and correlated to publicly available dataset. Higher numbers of tissue infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were found in MDS/CMML (8.
