Human leukocyte antigen - Wikipedia
It has been shown that high resolution HLA typing (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DPB1) may be relevant in transplantation to identify a full match, even when the donor is related.

What Are HLA Antibodies and Why Do They Matter?
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) antibodies are specialized components of the immune system designed to recognize and neutralize foreign substances. These antibodies specifically target Human Leukocyte Antigens, which are proteins found on the surface of almost all nucleated cells throughout the body. Understanding these antibodies is important because they represent the body’s immunological ...

Donor-specific antibodies against mismatched HLA proteins cause allograft failure, but the structural epitopes recognized by these antibodies are not well defined. Killian et al. identify immunodominant HLA-A∗01:01 epitopes that are localized specifically on the HLA crown and conserved across transplant recipients. These findings provide a framework for understanding the immunogenicity of ...
