Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In this large, two-center study, 260 cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) frequency assays, performed to assess patient-donor compatibility, were analyzed in relation to the degree of HLA matching. METHODS: While the tissue-typing techniques used at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School (RPMS) and Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust (ANBMT) differ, the results of the analyses on the two sites are...
