BACKGROUND: Antibodies against the human neutrophil alloantigen-3a (HNA-3a) play an important role in transfusion-related acute lung injury. The HNA-3a and -3b alloantigens result from a single-nucleotide exchange in the choline transporter-like protein 2 gene (CTL2). We sought for additional polymorphisms that might impair antibody binding to or genotyping of the HNA-3a or -3b antigens. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:...
