Abstract

The genetics of the HLA system are described as well as the phenotypic and genomic HLA polymorphisms. The influence of the HLA system in matching for organ transplantation and the tolerance induced by blood transfusion are discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Nach einer Darstellung des genetischen Aufbaus des HLA-Systems sowie der phänotypischen und genomischen HLA-Polymorphismen wird der Einfluß des HLA-Systems für die Empfänger-Spender-Auswahl und die durch Bluttransfusionen induzierte Toleranz diskutiert.
