Preferred Label : Minor Histocompatibility Antigen HA-1;
NCIt synonyms : HA-1(H); mHag HA-1; HA-1;
NCIt definition : A peptide antigen comprised of 9 amino acids (VLHDDLLEA) that is derived by antigen
processing from a variant of Rho GTPase-activating protein 45 where the arginine at
amino acid residue 139 is substituted with histidine. This peptide can be presented
by MHC class I HLA-A*0201 expressing cells. The complex of this peptide with HLA-A
elicits donor-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) reactivity following treatment by HLA-identical
allogenic bone marrow transplant.;
