title: Human leukocyte antigen sensitization after cryopreserved human meniscal transplantations.
abstract: The presence of antibodies against human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in recipients of cryopreserved, non-tissue-antigen-matched human meniscal allografts was evaluated. Serological HLA typing was performed for both class I and class II antigens. The results showed that 11 of 18 recipients became sensitized.
