Abstract：
:Human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G is an antigen-presenting molecule. This review discusses the possibility that this might not be its primary function. HLA-G indeed modulates innate immunity by interacting with immunoglobulin-like receptors and by regulating HLA-E expression and its subsequent interaction with CD94/NKG2 receptors. HLA-G also down-modulates both CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cell responsiveness.
