Over 1000 patients were analyzed in two different time intervals, 1978-1983 and 1984-1989; these corresponded to patient groups not treated with cyclosporine and treated with cyclosporine. Analysis of mismatching showed that there was a significant (P less than 0.05) longterm matching effect in the precyclosporine, era with 0 HLA-DR-mismatched recipients having a 9.5-year half-life compared with a 3-year half-life for the 2 HLA-DR-mismatched transplant recipients. The trend was similar for the cyclosporine-treated groups, but not significant. Risk factors for donor age and race of the recipient (P less than 0.05) were identified in the cyclosporine-treated group. Graft survival in the high-risk patient populations was 70% or better in the 0, 1 HLA-ABDR-mismatched groups as compared with less than 60% graft survival in the high-risk transplant recipients with 2-6 HLA-ABDR mismatches. In the cyclosporine era the HLA-ABDR 0, 1-mismatched patient groups showed a significantly better graft survival than was found in all other categories and at all time intervals analyzed. Matching is a way to ameliorate some of the high risk potential associated with less than optimal donor or recipients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines
D006085 Graft Survival The survival of a graft in a host, the factors responsible for the survival and the changes occurring within the graft during growth in the host. Graft Survivals,Survival, Graft,Survivals, Graft
D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.

D006684 HLA-DR Antigens A subclass of HLA-D antigens that consist of alpha and beta chains. The inheritance of HLA-DR antigens differs from that of the HLA-DQ ANTIGENS and HLA-DP ANTIGENS. HLA-DR,Antigens, HLA-DR,HLA DR Antigens

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
