abstract: The presence of antibodies directed against the donor has usually been considered as an absolute contraindication to transplantation. However, recent advances both in the ABO and human leukocyte antigen settings, detailed in this paper, have led to successful transplantations in the presence of antidonor antibodies, with preliminary evidence of accommodation.
