Kidney, medulla

Liver: Sinusoids and Kupffer cells show strong HLA-DRa immunostaining in the liver.

Lung: Intense HLA-DRa immunostaining of alveolar macrophages and alveolar capillaries.

Lymph node: A strong HLA-DRa immunostaining is regularly seen on the majority of inflammatory cells including dendritic cells and macrophages.
