Abstract

Bone marrow transplantation between HLA-identical siblings is an established therapeutic strategy in leukemia and a variety of lympho-hematopoietic disorders. In recent years unrelated donors were increasingly used for patients lacking a family donor. Here we report on current progress in HLA class II typing by molecular methods which have influenced donor search and improved matching.
