HLA (human leukocyte antigen) is the name for the MHC (major histocompatibility complex) found in humans.  MHC class I molecules (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C) are found on pretty much all cells (some important exceptions are red blood cells).  MHC Class II molecules (HLA-DQ, HLA-DP, HLA-DR) are found on special antigen presenting cells, which include B-lymphocytes, dentritic cells, and macrophages.
