Haptoglobin-Related Protein Definition

Haptoglobin-related protein (trypanosome lytic factor) confers human resistance to Trypanosome brucei. HPR or HPR-like epitopes are expressed in human breast carcinoma. Expression of HPR epitopes was associated with earlier recurrence, and multivariate analysis showed that HPR-epitope expression was an independent prognostic factor.
