Hla Disease Association and Transplantation Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6147
The Hla Disease Association and Transplantation Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system and its clinical relevance.
It is used in immunology and medical courses to explain HLA class I and class II molecules, their associations with specific diseases, and their central role in transplant donor-recipient matching.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| HLA System | Human Leukocyte Antigen genes encoding the MHC molecules that present antigens |
| HLA Class I | Present on nearly all nucleated cells; presents antigen to cytotoxic T cells |
| HLA Class II | Present on antigen-presenting cells; presents antigen to helper T cells |
| Disease Association | Certain HLA alleles are statistically linked to specific autoimmune and other diseases |
| Transplant Matching | HLA typing is used to match donors and recipients and reduce rejection risk |
| Graft Rejection | Immune response mounted against mismatched donor HLA molecules |
Key Features
- Distinguishes HLA class I and class II molecules and their functions
- Shows how HLA typing supports transplant donor-recipient matching
- Illustrates HLA disease associations and graft rejection mechanisms
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Hla Disease Association and Transplantation Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates the structure of HLA class I and II molecules and their role in disease association and transplant matching.
Q2. What is the difference between HLA class I and class II?
A. HLA class I is found on nearly all nucleated cells and presents to cytotoxic T cells, while HLA class II is found on antigen-presenting cells and presents to helper T cells.
Q3. Why is HLA typing important for transplantation?
A. HLA typing helps match donors and recipients, reducing the risk of graft rejection.
Q4. How are HLA alleles linked to disease?
A. Certain HLA alleles are statistically associated with an increased risk of specific autoimmune and other diseases.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Immunology, medical, and biotechnology students and faculty use it to study the HLA system.
