Leucocyte antigens are cell-surface glycoproteins, the structure of which is under the genetic control of a chromosome region called the major histocompatibility complex. Progress in the study of the equine leucocyte antigen (ELA) system has been achieved in two ways; first by the fact that the ELA system is intensively investigated in different laboratories all over the world and parallels can be drawn to the information gained from research in more extensively studied species, and secondly by the collaborative efforts of the participants in three international workshops. The potential applications of the ELA system and areas of further investigation are discussed.
白细胞抗原是细胞表面糖蛋白，其结构受一个称为主要组织相容性复合体的染色体区域的基因控制。马白细胞抗原（ELA）系统的研究进展通过两种方式取得；首先，世界各地不同实验室对ELA系统进行了深入研究，可以与从对研究更广泛的物种的研究中获得的信息进行对比；其次，通过三个国际研讨会参与者的共同努力。文中讨论了ELA系统的潜在应用和进一步研究的领域。
