What Does HLA Stand For?

HLA stands for High Level Architecture Human Leukocyte Antigen

HLA, or High Level Architecture Human Leukocyte Antigen, refers to a dual-concept framework within two distinct fields. In computer science, High Level Architecture (HLA) is an architecture and standard for modeling and simulation interoperability, enabling different simulations to communicate and work together effectively. In immunology, Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) represents a group of genes that encode proteins responsible for the regulation of the immune system in humans, playing a critical role in the body's ability to recognize foreign substances. Together, HLA embodies both sophisticated technical standards and fundamental biological functions essential for systems interoperability and immune response.
