title: [The HLA complex in 1991].
abstract: In November 1990 the Nomenclature Committee of the WHO updated the designation of loci, alleles, and antigens of the HLA complex. Their complete list is presented in our review, along with current knowledge on the complexity of the HLA-D region. Finally, the paper deals with the tertiary structure of HLA antigens discovered in 1987, which has enabled us to understand the biological significance of the HLA complex. (Fig. 5, Tab. 5, Ref. 15.)
