HLA markers are found on the surface of cells. It is a group of procedures that determines what antigens are on an individuals cells and is usually done before organ transplants.
It is done to find matches between patients and donors. The better the matches are, the better chance that the organ is accepted by the recipient. If the antigens do not match well then the recipient's body is more likely to identify the organ as a foreign entity and attack it.]]> 2018-03-20 12:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243952278 chloejanehoward https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243952712 http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/medical-information-0/procedures-and-treatments/tissue-typing-kidney-donation

A reaction from this means that it is likely that the recipient will reject the transplant. ]]> 2018-03-20 12:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243953018 chloejanehoward https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243953196 It is used to determine if the bone marrow cells have similar enough antigens that the recipient's body will accept the bone marrow with the help of immunosuppressants.
A bone marrow transplant is used to treat some types of cancer where the production of blood cells is compromised. ]]> 2018-03-20 12:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243953196 chloejanehoward https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243953460 2018-03-20 12:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chloejanehoward/ChloeHoward/wish/243953460
