Matching of human platelet alloantigen (HPA) systems 2-6 was retrospectively investigated in 715 unrelated bone marrow transplantations. Of the five HPA systems studied, HPA-5 mismatching was found to have a significant effect on the disease-free survival rate of recipients following transplantation in the HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DR allele-matched donor-recipient pairs. The effect of the HPA-5 mismatch was most...
