Talk:HLA-DR

Untitled
My question: Is there known information about the peptide residues which preferentially bind to the FLA-DR complex? Igorya13 (talk) 00:28, 22 September 2015 (UTC) -- The information in disease associations has many errors. My opinion is that if a disease is linked via linkage disequilbrium, for example DR3 and DQA1*0501, DQB1*0201 one should say DR3 is associated via linkage to DQ. For example, DR11-DQ7/DR7-DQ2 is associated with celiac disease and it produces the same DQ alpha-beta (or very similar) as DQA1*0501:DQB1*0201 as DR3-DQ2 Pdeitiker -- This page is in the process of being shortened and subdivided. At some point each serotype will have its own page. HLA-DR51 to HLA-DR53 already are near completion.

200.106.71.167 04:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)My question I wonder: Why they call DR and DQ? What mean that abbreviations? -- I think it might help to reduce confusion to explain (if it is correct!) that the "HLA" in "HLA DR" refers to "Histocompatibility Locus A", not "Human Leukocyte Antigen". However, "HLA DR" is ONE of the areas of human DNA which controls production of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA.) If someone can verify this, please add it to the text of the definition.
