Histocompatibility Testing in Organ Transplantation [PDF]
Laboratory Medicine, 1999 The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is crucial in lymphocyte activation, and HLA antigens can provoke potent humoral and cellular immune responses that mediate allograft rejection. Matching for HLA promotes the successful outcome of transplanting an organ such as a kidney or a heart. The role of the tissue-typing laboratory is to assess the degree

HISTOCOMPATIBILITY TESTING OF DOG FAMILIES WITH HIGHLY POLYMORPHIC MICROSATELLITE MARKERS1
Transplantation, 1996 The dog has served traditionally as a model for marrow and organ transplantation. A key component of any study of transplantation is histocompatibility typing of donors and recipients.
