title: [Tissue-typing laboratories for organ transplantation].
abstract: The tissue typing laboratory performs genetic analysis: the safety and the reproducibility of results are mandatory, because HLA typing can be crucial both in donor-recipient compatibility assessment for organ transplantation and for the diagnosis of immune related disease. The HLA laboratory should perform analysis, as quickly as possible, in order to define donor-recipient matching and to assess the presence of anti-donor specific antibodies in recipient's serum to prevent iperacute rejection. The aim of this report is to define the guidelines that should be followed in all laboratories for each specific transplantation in order to acquire national and international accreditation, and to obtain the best clinical results.
