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.
This video covers:
- What is HLA?: The complexity of HLA and why it plays a pivotal role in genetics.
- Types of HLA: An overview of HLA Class I, II, and III, and how they function in the body.
- Why HLA Testing Matters: Learn why HLA typing is essential for organ transplantation and autoimmune disease diagnosis.
- Methods of HLA Typing: From traditional serological typing to cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, discover the advantages of each method.
- CD Genomics' HLA Typing Services: How we utilize advanced NGS and long-read sequencing technologies to offer high-quality HLA typing services for a wide range of research needs.
