HLA-B44 subtyping in the Catalan population using reference strand mediated conformation analysis. Implications for the selection of unrelated bone marrow donors.

Abstract excerpt

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) reactive against the disparity between HLA-B*4402 and HLA-B*4403 have been reported after unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation. These CTLs have been associated with acute graft-versus-host disease and graft rejection. This study describes the HLA-B44-subtyping in the Catalan population using reference-strand mediated conformation analysis. It has been performed on 297...
