The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak represents a global health problem. The different infection rates are heavily influenced by host genetic factors, such as variability in the HLA region. The aim of our study was to investigate whether certain HLA alleles in the Bulgarian population contribute to COVID-19 progression and their role in anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity.

HLA-E is a nonclassical, nonpolymorphic, class Ib HLA molecule. Its primary function is to present a conserved nonamer peptide, termed VL9, derived from the signal sequence of classical MHC molecules to the NKG2x-CD94 receptors on NK cells and a subset of T lymphocytes. These receptors regulate the function of NK cells, and the importance of this role, which is conserved across mammalian species, probably accounts for the lack of genetic polymorphism.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the development of donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) in simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplant recipients (SPKTRs) compared to kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), finding a higher incidence of dnDSA in SPKTRs at one year post-transplant.
- Independent risk factors for dnDSA development identified include preformed DSA and younger donor age, with high PIRCHE-II scores for HLA-DQ correlating significantly with dnDSA.
- However, the research highlights that total PIRCHE-II scores may not reliably predict dnDSA risk, suggesting caution in using this measure for post-transplant assessment.

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).
