“…30 Of note, genetic disparity between unrelated individuals frequently includes the HLA-DRB3/4/5, -DQ, and -DP loci which are targets of direct T-cell alloreactivity, that is, cross-recognition by T cells specific for different self-HLA-restricted peptides regardless of their derivation from novel or recall antigens. 9,10,31 This phenomenon explains why T cells mediating direct alloreactivity are found both in the naive and memory repertoire and have a surprisingly high precursor frequency of at least 1%. 10,24,26,32 HLA-DRB3/4/5, -DQ, and -DP have relatively …”
