Placental expression of HLA-C, HLA-E, and HLA-G locus products is now well described. However, to date, the functional relevance of these MHC class I products at the maternal-fetal interface is incompletely described. We propose here that HLA-C, -E, and -G comprise a distinct and cohesive group of MHC class I products. This hypothesis is supported by a growing body of data, including that obtained through the study of viral immune evasion. Continued investigation of viral interactions with MHC class I products promises to help us to define those specific attributes of HLA-C, -E, and -G that define their common characteristics.
