[Influence of HLA-DR antigens on survival of allogeneic human kidney transplants (author's transl)].

Abstract

Matching of HL-A-DR antigens is relevant for the outcome of cadaver kidney grafts, if donor and recipient share one DR antigen and two or more HL-A-AB antigens. The HL-A combination of one antigen on the HL-A-A and HL-A-B locus may expedite the decision in favour of transplantation if there is also one common HL-A-DR antigen.
