tissue compatibility

How is Tissue Matching Done?

Tissue matching involves several tests to ensure compatibility:
HLA Typing: Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing identifies the specific MHC molecules present. The closer the HLA match, the better the chances of graft acceptance.
Crossmatching: This test determines if the recipient has antibodies against the donor's HLA. A negative crossmatch indicates better compatibility.
Serological Tests: These tests detect the presence of specific antibodies and antigens that might affect compatibility.
