Although human leukocyte antigen (HLA) crossmatching is often thought to be unnecessary for liver transplants (LTs), we provide evidence that for retransplants, it is essential. Sera from 139 retransplant patients who had received livers from deceased donors were retrospectively analyzed with single

The significance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility and preformed antibodies in liver transplantation remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to evaluate, in a single-center cohort comprising 896 liver transplants, whether the degree of donor-recipient compatibility and prefor
In polymyositis (PM), T-cell mediated myocytotoxicity is directed against strongly human leukocyte antigen class I positive (HLA-I+) muscle fibers. Fiber regeneration probably is partly responsible for this HLA-I up-regulation. We have evaluated regeneration, denervation/impulse blockade, and focal
