HLA-specific antibody distribution in renal transplant waiting list patients: utility of antigen frequency data in the definition of HLA-reactive epitopes.

This study describes how the use of antigen frequency data can be used to support the identification of HLA-reactive epitopes. It also highlights how sharing of epitopes can explain SAB reactivity against HLA antigens found at extremely low frequency in the population. PMID: 25095539 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
