title: The role of HLA-DR antigens in transplantation--survival of skin allografts in HLA-haploidentical donor-recipient combinations.
abstract: The results of 79 skin grafts performed in haploidentical donor-recipient pairs are correlated with HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DR compatibility. A strong detrimental effect of DR incompatibilities has been demonstrated. This effect is independent from that exerted by products of the HLA-A, -B, and -C loci. An additive effect of HLA-A, -B, and -DR incompatibilities on allograft survival time has been observed.
