Abstract excerpt
Allelic matching within the HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 loci significantly improves the clinical outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Consequently, allelic typing of these loci is strongly recommended for the unrelated stem cell donor selection. In this study, the HLA-DRB1,3,4,5 and -DQB1 alleles of 231 patients and their corresponding 821 nonrandom potential stem cell donors were determined to define...
