ABO blood group system

The ABO blood group system is used to denote the presence of one, both, or neither of the A and B antigens on erythrocytes (red blood cells).

See H antigen and ABO blood group system

Antigen

In immunology, an antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety, foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a specific antibody or T-cell receptor.

See H antigen and Antigen

Chromosome 9

Chromosome 9 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.

See H antigen and Chromosome 9

A flagellum (flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.

See H antigen and Flagellum

FUT1

Galactoside 2-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FUT1 gene.

See H antigen and FUT1

H-Y antigen

H-Y antigen is a male tissue specific antigen.

See H antigen and H-Y antigen

Hh blood group

hh, or the Bombay blood group, is a rare blood type.

See H antigen and Hh blood group

Histamine

Histamine is an organic nitrogenous compound involved in local immune responses communication, as well as regulating physiological functions in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter for the brain, spinal cord, and uterus.

See H antigen and Histamine

Histocompatibility

Histocompatibility, or tissue compatibility, is the property of having the same, or sufficiently similar, alleles of a set of genes called human leukocyte antigens (HLA), or major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

See H antigen and Histocompatibility

Major histocompatibility complex

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a large locus on vertebrate DNA containing a set of closely linked polymorphic genes that code for cell surface proteins essential for the adaptive immune system.

See H antigen and Major histocompatibility complex

Peptide

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

See H antigen and Peptide

T cell

T cells are one of the important types of white blood cells of the immune system and play a central role in the adaptive immune response.

See H antigen and T cell

Transplant rejection

Transplant rejection occurs when transplanted tissue is rejected by the recipient's immune system, which destroys the transplanted tissue.

See H antigen and Transplant rejection
