Abstract

Correlation of leukocyte typing with homograft survival suggests that HL-A typing of white blood cells reflects the histocompatibility factors of the kidney, yet some apparently well-matched kidneys are rejected. The latter results may, in part, reflect inadequacies of typing techniques, incomplete expression of HL-A factors on white blood cells as compared with the cells of the rejected organ, or isoantigens not shared with leukocytes.
