摘要
The variety of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) is yet another level of variation in the immune system, and it's long been thought that HLAs may be associated with susceptibility to disease. Two large-scale studies now strengthen this view, linking HLAs with susceptibility after infection with HIV-1 and the human T-lymphotropic virus-1.
