Most-cited papers in HLA

25 years of the IPD‐IMGT/HLA <scp>D</scp>atabase

James Robinson, Dominic J. Barker, Steven G. E. Marsh · 1 Jun 2024

Twenty-five years ago, in 1998, the HLA Informatics Group of the Anthony Nolan Research Institute released the IMGT/HLA Database. Since this time, this online resource has acted as the repository for the numerous variant sequences of HLA alleles named by the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. The IPD-IMGT/HLA Database has provided…

Tumor‐associated antigens: Tn antigen, <scp>sTn</scp> antigen, and T antigen

Caixia Fu, Hongwei Zhao, Yin Wang et al. · 28 Sep 2016

Glycosylation is one of the major posttranslational modifications of proteins. N-glycosylation (Asn-linked) and O-glycosylation (Ser/Thr-linked) are the two main forms. Abnormal O-glycosylation is frequently observed on the surface of tumor cells, and is associated with an adverse outcome and poor prognosis in patients with cancer. O-glycans (Tn, sTn, and T antigen) can be synthesized in…

Distribution of <scp>HLA</scp> allele frequencies in 82 Chinese individuals with coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19)

Wei Wang, Wei Zhang, Jingjing Zhang et al. · 19 May 2020

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus and is currently a global pandemic. HLA variation is associated with COVID-19 because HLA plays a pivotal role in the immune response to pathogens. Here, 82 individuals with COVID-19 were genotyped for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, and -DPB1 loci using next-generation…

Common, intermediate and well‐documented HLA alleles in world populations: CIWD version 3.0.0

Carolyn Katovich Hurley, Jane Kempenich, Kim Wadsworth et al. · 23 Jan 2020

A catalog of common, intermediate and well-documented (CIWD) HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5, -DQB1 and -DPB1 alleles has been compiled from over 8 million individuals using data from 20 unrelated hematopoietic stem cell volunteer donor registries. Individuals are divided into seven geographic/ancestral/ethnic groups and data are summarized for each group and for the…

<scp>HLA</scp> allele frequencies and susceptibility to <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 in a group of 99 Italian patients

Antonio Novelli, Marco Andreani, Michela Biancolella et al. · 22 Aug 2020

With the aim to individuate alleles that may reflect a higher susceptibility to the disease, in the present study we analyzed the HLA allele frequency distribution in a group of 99 Italian patients affected by a severe or extremely severe form of COVID-19. After the application of Bonferroni's correction for multiple tests, a significant association…

HLA template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the HLA format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the HLA template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does HLA use?
HLA uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." HLA 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to HLA?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready HLA document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the HLA template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the HLA format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes HLA?
HLA is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's HLA template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready HLA PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official HLA template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the HLA template cost?
You can start writing in the HLA template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready HLA PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
