GlossaryHLA-DP

part of the immune system that presents antigens to cells

HLA-DP is a part of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, which plays a crucial role in the immune system by helping the body distinguish between its own proteins and those from pathogens. Specifically, HLA-DP is a class II molecule that presents antigens to immune cells, thereby initiating an immune response. This is important in contexts like organ transplantation, autoimmune diseases, and understanding genetic predispositions to certain conditions.
