Abstract excerpt
Mismatches of minor histocompatibility antigens (mHas) between HLA-identical stem cell donors and recipients are known as a major risk factor for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We determined the alleles of 5 polymorphic molecules including HA-1 and 4 adhesion molecules in 102 patients who had undergone stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical donors and investigated the association of their mismatches with...
