The role of tissue typing in corneal transplantation. 1976

M R Allansmith, and D Drell, and G Kajiyama, and M Fine

The ABO relationships of 150 corneal transplant recipients and their donors were evaluated as were IgG and IgM isoagglutinins in recipients receiving grafts from ABO-incompatible donors. The HL-A antigens of 43 corneal transplant recipients and their donors were determined as were the cross-matches of donor lymphocytes in selected cases. No relationships of significance between mismatched donors and recipients or presence of antibody in recipients against antigens of the donor for either ABO or HL-A systems were found. It was concluded that in this series histocompatibility mismatches could not be shown to be a factor in corneal transplant failure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D001787 Blood Group Incompatibility An antigenic mismatch between donor and recipient blood. Antibodies present in the recipient's serum may be directed against antigens in the donor product. Such a mismatch may result in a transfusion reaction in which, for example, donor blood is hemolyzed. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984).

D005260 Female Females
D006084 Graft Rejection An immune response with both cellular and humoral components, directed against an allogeneic transplant, whose tissue antigens are not compatible with those of the recipient.

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.

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.

Usually refers to genetically disparate individuals in contradistinction to isogeneic transplantation for genetically identical individuals.
