The biological significance of HLA‐DP gene variation in haematopoietic cell transplantation
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Although it has been over 25 years since HLA-DP was mapped to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), its biological functions remain ill-defined. We sought to test the hypothesis that HLA-DP functions in a manner similar to that of other class II genes by measuring the risk of clinically severe grades III-IV acute graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) associated with recipient HLA-DP disparity after haematopoietic...
