Abstract excerpt
HLA haplotypes were assigned by family typing in 94 prospective kidney transplant recipients. An HLA-A region of the HLA-A, B, DR haplotypes was found in association with high levels of antibodies against lymphocytes. There was a significant difference in the frequency of HLA-B8-positive haplotypes among the patients with regard to the distribution of HLA-A alleles (p = 0.0028); on the same haplotype the A1 and...
