After briefly describing the conceptions of the HL-A antigens and of histocompatibility, the authors give an account of their own retrospective examinations in connection with keratoplasty. Transplantations between identical groups of the ABO-system have a greater probability of ending successfully, if at least 2 HL-A antigens of donor and recipient are identical; this being chiefly important when grafting is carried out into unfavourable, vascularized surroundings.

High degree of variability in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) system restricts availability of histocompatible HLA-matched-related donors, thus increasing reliance on worldwide bone marrow registries network. Nevertheless, due to limited coverage/accessibility/affordability of some ethnicities in these registries, haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) emerged as an alternative option, though with allorecognition-mediated graft versus host disease (GvHD) (>40% cases). A dimorphism [-21 methionine (M) or threonine (T)] in HLA-B leader peptide (exon 1) which differentially influences its HLA-E binding, plausibly regulates natural killer cell functionality, affecting GvHD vulnerability and clinically in practice for donor selection.
