The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex - relevance of HLA to cancer immunotherapy
Everything you need to know about immunology and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in a condensed poster format.
To defend the body against threats, evolution developed the highly complex immune system with hundreds of molecular players and various cell types. Have a look at our scientific poster that gives you an overview on the basics, as well as translational knowledge about cancer immunotherapy.
- Genetic structure of the human leukocyte antigen complex on chromosome 6
- Distinction between MHC class I and class II proteins
- In-depth illustration of T cell activation by antigen-presenting cells (APCs)
- Application of that knowledge in cancer immunotherapy
