Histocompatibility methods

Transplantation Reviews, 2009
Predicting humoral alloimmune potential in transplant recipients is the objective of histocompatibility testing and depends upon accurate donor typing and sensitive and specific testing for antibodies to human leukocyte antigen. This review for the transplant clinician will describe the evolution and current practices of histocompatibility testing ...

Minor histocompatibility antigens

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1997
The existence of transplantation antigens, in addition to those encoded by genes in the MHC, has been known for over half a century. The molecular identification of these additional minor histocompatibility (H) antigens lagged behind that of their MHC counterparts, largely because minor H antigens are recognised by T cells and not by antibodies. In the

Histocompatibility and Transplantation.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1971
Excerpt The success of transplantation in man depends to some degree on antigenic disparity between the donor and the recipient tissues.

Histocompatibility and Human Placentation

Nature, 1970
HISTOCOMPATIBILITY antigens were recently suggested by Jones1 to affect human placentation. His observation was based on data of maternal ABO blood groups and placental weights. The immunological disparity of the mother and her foetus was found to be associated with a relatively smaller placenta and vice versa.

Autoimmunity, histocompatibility, and aging

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 1979
The immunologic theory of aging proposes that the normal process of aging in man and all animals is pathogenetically related to faulty immunological processes and may be analogous to a type of autoimmune phenomena ultimately involving all body tissues.

Histocompatability Antigens and Schizophrenia

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1978
The HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigen) types A and B were studied in 80 patients diagnosed as schizophrenic. There was an increased incidence of HLA-BW5 and a decrease in HLA-AW29 and HLA-BW17 as compared with healthy controls. In the sub-group of patients exhibiting Schneider's first-rank symptoms there was an increased incidence of HLA-A1 with a decrease ...

Maintenance of Histocompatibility Polymorphisms

Nature, 1966
THE transplantation antigens present a striking example of genetic polymorphism. Medawar1 has stated that “Although there are no factual grounds for supposing that antigenic diversity is anything but an unfortunate consequence of constitutional differences between individuals of a species, yet one is under some obligation to rack one's brains for ...

Histocompatibility and Reproduction [PDF]

, 1986
In all outbreeding populations, fetal and maternal tissues are in intimate juxtaposition, and there is ample evidence to show that the maternal organism responds immunologically to the paternally derived histocompatibility antigens of the fetus (reviewed by Head and Billingham, 1983).

Introduction to Histocompatibility [PDF]

, 1975
Transplantation or grafting is the transfer of living cells, tissues, or organs from one part of the body to another or from one individual to another. The cell, tissue, or organ being transferred is the graft or transplant. Grafts placed in the same anatomical position normally occupied by the transplanted tissue are called orthotopic, and those ...

The Genetics of Histocompatibility

Hospital Practice, 1970
The need to improve donor-recipient pairing for organ transplantation led to research through which it has become clear that a single genetic system, the H L-A locus, controls most of the lymphocyte antigens that affect graft survival. Mixed leukocyte cultures, which permit measurement of compatibility at H L-A without defining the antigens involved ...
