HLA Typing: Key Types, Testing Methods, and Transplant Significance

In this video, we take a deep dive into the world of HLA typing and its crucial role in medicine and immunology. What is HLA? The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) is a gene family deeply linked to the immune system, responsible for distinguishing "self" from "non-self" in our bodies. By understanding the different types and functions of HLA, you'll gain insights into its importance in organ transplants, disease associations, and immune responses.
