In addition, many genes involved in the immune response and cytophylaxis, such as CD74 antigen, MHC class I glycoprotein, MHC class II beta 1 domain, MHC class II antigen alpha, lymphocyte antigen 6, beta-2 microglobulin, T-cell leukemia, Hsp70 and Hsp25, were also highly expressed in adipose tissue. This evidence concerns the gene HLA-C and T-cell leukemia.
