title: HLA-G as an Inhibitor of Immune Responses.
abstract: HLA-G is a nonclassical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecule which plays important tolerogenic functions in various physiological and pathological situations such as fetus and transplant acceptance, and immune escaping of virus-infected and malignant cells. Here we describe a method, which allows for studying cell surface expression of HLA-G using specific antibodies with flow cytometry analysis.
