Abstract:
Serological methods of tissue typing have been used for matching patient-donor pairs for transplantation for several decades. Molecular techniques are rapidly being developed that can provide rapid, accurate tissue typing at the DNA sequence level. These techniques can be used to identify the best match pre-transplant and can also be used for the post-transplant monitoring of engraftment of bone marrow transplant patients.
