Title: Developments in histocompatibility testing. Author: Svejgaard A, Thomsen M. Journal: Proc Eur Dial Transplant Assoc; 1976; 12():121-8. PubMed ID: 132660.

These antigens seem to play a major role in transplant rejection in HLA non-immunised patients. When the new typing methods eventually become applied in matching of kidneys it seems likely that the results of kidney transplantation will be significantly improved.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
