The Effect of Tolerance to Noninherited Maternal HLA Antigens on the Survival of Renal Transplants from Sibling Donors

Abstract

In the transplantation of a kidney from a sibling donor who is mismatched with the recipient for one HLA haplotype, graft survival is higher when the donor has maternal HLA antigens not inherited by the recipient than when the donor has paternal HLA antigens not inherited by the recipient.
