Donor – recipient selection using epitope mismatches in kidney transplantation by A. V. Vatazin, A. B. Vatazin, V. A. Stepanov

“…In the routine practice of a transplantation center with a short waiting list of its own, it might be possible to improve the kidney transplant survival as a result of considering epitope mismatches, thus  reducing the risk of developing donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies and ensuring a higher graft survival rate. This method can be used for additional ranking of transplantation candidates depending on the number of epitope mismatches within the fixed number of HLA-mismatches and thus select the optimal one. …”
