Abstract excerpt
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies represent a significant risk factor for transplant failure. It is very important to characterize anti-HLA antibodies as epitopes rather than antigens so that this knowledge can be applied clinically. The aim of the study was to investigate the extra reactivity patterns in sensitized multipare. Here, we have used the HLAMatchmaker program, a theoretical algorithm, to...
