title: New allele name of some HLA-DRB1*1401: HLA-DRB1*1454.
abstract: The primary function of MHC polymorphism is considered as the foundation of self-defense mechanism of the host in surveillance against countless diverse invading pathogens. However, this biological function can also elicit undesirable immunological responses that jeopardize transplantations when compatibility between donors and recipients is unfavourable.
