Matching for properdin factor B (Bf) in renal transplantation. 1981

P A Dyer, and P T Klouda, and R W Johnson, and A P Read, and N P Mallick, and R Harris

Forty-five donor and recipient primary cadaveric kidney transplant pairs were phenotyped for the properdin factor B (Bf) polymorphism. Graft survival was analyzed on the basis of Bf matching between donor and recipient. Patients receiving a Bf-identical kidney had significantly better graft survival than those receiving a Bf-incompatible kidney (P = 0.045). It is postulated that Bf, which maps in the major histocompatibility system, is a marker for genes of importance in kidney transplant survival.

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.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
