Deskripsi

Tran et al. combine high throughput sequencing, structural biology and computational simulation to determine the HLA allele and antibody-defined epitope frequencies in renal transplant patients and donors. These results demonstrate the feasibility of HLA epitope matching using data from a national transplantation program.
