Abstract excerpt
HLA matching between a bone marrow recipient and donor is one of the major factors influencing transplant success. However, it is not possible to locate an HLA-identical donor for about 70% of patients who might benefit from bone marrow transplantation (BMT). New molecular biological methods for detection of HLA polymorphism currently provide an opportunity to improve HLA matching of unrelated donors as well as a...
