serology and dna techniques are employed for human leukocyte antigen (hla) typing in different transplant centers. results may not always correlate well and may need retyping with different technique. all the patients (with aplastic anemia, thalassemia, and immunodeficiency) and their donors, requiring hla typing for bone marrow transplant were enrolled in the study. serological hla typing was ...

BACKGROUND Immune platelet refractoriness is mainly caused by human leukocyte antigen antibodies (80-90% of cases) and, to a lesser extent, by human platelet antigen antibodies. Refractoriness can be diagnosed by laboratory tests and patients should receive compatible platelet transfusions. A fast, effective and low cost antibody-screening method which detects platelet human leukocyte/platelet ...

the human leukocyte antigen-b27 is one of the class i molecules of the major histocompatibility complex which is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis (as) . the strength of the disease association with b27 varies markedly among racial and ethnic populations. it is an allele family, which constitutes about 31 subtypes, with a considerable geographic and ethnic difference in distributi...
