In transplant, we consider ABO when allocating organs but not the Rh factor. So a person with B- can receive a B+ organ. This is true becasue:
a. There are insufficient organs to go around so exact matching does not matter
b. The epithelial cells of organs do not recognize erythrocytes as foreign
c. HLA antibodies are not on erythrocytes
d. Rh antigens are not present on lymphocytes
e. c and d
f. b and d |
|
Definition
e. c and d
HLA antibodies are not on erythrocytes and RH antigens are not present on lymphocytes |

Term
Until the mid 90's, HLA tissue typing was erformed using serology testing and required 6-8 tubes of blood. Today the test can be performed without blood on hair and mucous membranes using:
