Article Synopsis
  • - This study examined how the resolution of HLA matching (high vs. low) affects patient outcomes after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in 34 patients with blood cancers, using various genetic testing methods to analyze HLA compatibility.
  • - Results indicated that high-resolution HLA matching led to faster recovery of neutrophils and better outcomes related to engraftment, platelet recovery, and reduced rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
  • - The findings suggest that better HLA matching in UCBT is clinically significant, as it promotes better blood cell recovery and minimizes post-transplant complications.

Objective: To find out the distributed characteristics of KIR2DL1 alleles frequencies and the recognition HLA-C ligand in the Chinese Han population.

Methods: The 111 patients and 116 donors from CMDP were performed the KIR2DL1 high-resolution typing and KIR genotyping using sequence-based testing (SBT) and PCR-SSP methods.

Results: A total of 224 individuals with KIR2DL1 locus was predominantly observed and accounted for 98.

Background: Humoral immunity is an important factor for long-term survival of renal allograft. Here we performed a four-year follow-up to explore the clinical significance of monitoring anti-human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and anti-major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) antibody expression after kidney transplantation.

Methods: We obtained serial serum samples from 84 kidney transplant patients over a four-year period.

Objective: To study the impact of various human leukocyte antigen (HLA) high resolution typing mismatching of donor-recipient pairs on prognosis of unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Methods: 835 donor-recipient pairs of CMDP data from 2005 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. HLA-A, B, C, DRB1 and DQB1 typing were performed using SBT, SSOP and SSP methods.

Objective: To analyze the allele frequencies and polymorphism of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) -A, B, Cw, DRB1 and DQB1 between donors-recipients on high-resolution typing; and to analyze the matching and mismatching proportion between donors and recipients.

Methods: HLA high-resolution types were determined by sequence based typing (SBT), sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) and sequence specific primer (SSP) on 2540 unrelated Chinese Han individuals including 1168 recipients and 1372 donors, then statistical analyses were carried out.

Results: Forty-four HLA-A alleles were detected, and among them the frequencies of A*1101, A*2402, A*0201, A*0207, A*3303, A*0206 and A*3001 exceeded 0.

Objective: To detect the frequencies of KIR2DS4 alleles in Chinese Han population and to study the impact of KR2DS4 alleles on clinical outcomes of HLA identical unrelated allo-HSCT.

Methods: A Sequence-Based Testing (SBT) and TOPO TA cloning system for identifying and distinguishing alleles of the KIR2DS4 gene were established. A total of 150 Chinese-Han individuals, including 75 leukemia patients who received allo-HSCT and their HLA high-resolution typing identical unrelated donors (URD) were entered this study.

Objective: To explore the relationship between CMV reactivation and KIR haplotype or HLA-Cw genotype in patients after unrelated-donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Methods: From January 2003 to December 2008 the HLA-Cw/KIR genotype of 48 patient-donor pairs were determined by polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) and sequence specific nucleotide (PCR-SSOP). Posttransplant CMV reactivation was performed by immune histochemically assay.

Objective: To establish a real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT-PCR) for quantitative detection of the common molecular markers that have affirmative clinical significance in the acute and chronic leukemia patients, and evaluate its significance in diagnosing leukemias and monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD).

Methods: Primers and TaqMan probes were designed for detecting various fusion transcripts and normal abl gene was used as the internal control. The expression level of fusion transcripts in 202 newly diagnosed leukemias were determined.

Objective: To study the biological function of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) and the role of donor inhibitory KIR and recipient genetic background in HLA matched unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Methods: HLA genotype of 51 patients (ALL 18 cases, CML 15 cases, AML 10 cases and others 8 cases) and their respective matched unrelated donors from Database of China Marrow Registration was determined by polymerase chain reaction sequence oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) and sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP). The KIR genotype was determined by PCR-SSP.
