The Human Leukocyte Antigen complex or HLA complex is a group of proteins that "helps the immune system distinguish the body's own proteins from proteins made by foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria".[1][2] It is the human version of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which is also found in certain non-human species.[1]
