Abstract excerpt
Eplets are functional units of structural epitopes on donor HLA, potentially recognized by complementarity-determining regions of the paratope of the recipients' B-cell receptors or antibodies (Ab). Their individual immunogenicity is poorly described, yet this feature would be of clinical importance for pretransplant risk assessment. The aim of this study was to determine the relative immunogenicity of HLA class...
