title: [Presence and distribution of HLA-DR, HLA-DP and HLA-DQ transplant antigens in the human tympanum].
abstract: The present morphological study was designed to investigate the expression of HLA class II subregion gene products on human tympanic membrane. Frozen sections from tympanic membrane of 10 cadavers were studied immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibodies. Positive reactions could be detected in the epidermal layer and the subepidermal connective tissue layer of the lamina propia. The implications of our findings on the clinical field of tympanic membrane allografting are discussed.
