Abstract
As many patients with severe corneal disease are not even considered as candidates for a human graft due to their high risk of rejection, it is essential to find ways to reduce the chance of rejection. One of the options is proper matching of the cornea donor and recipient for the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA), a subject of much debate. Currently, patients receiving their first corneal allograft are hardly ever matched for HLA and even patients undergoing a regraft usually do not receive an HLA-matched graft. While anterior and posterior lamellar grafts are not immune to rejection, they are usually performed in low risk, non-vascularized cases. These are the cases in which the immune privilege due to the avascular status and active immune inhibition is still intact. Once broken due to infection, sensitization or trauma, rejection will occur. There is enough data to show that when proper DNA-based typing techniques are being used, even low risk perforating corneal transplantations benefit from matching for HLA Class I, and high risk cases from HLA Class I and probably Class II matching. Combining HLA class I and class II matching, or using the HLAMatchmaker could further improve the effect of HLA matching. However, new techniques could be applied to reduce the chance of rejection. Options are the local or systemic use of biologics, or gene therapy, aiming at preventing or suppressing immune responses. The goal of all these approaches should be to prevent a first rejection, as secondary grafts are usually at higher risk of complications including rejections than first grafts.

Abstract
Transplantation of nonstandard or expanded criteria donor organs creates several potential ethical and legal problems in terms of consent and liability, and new challenges for research and service development; it highlights the need for a system of organ donation that responds to an evolving ethical landscape and incorporates scientific innovation to meet the needs of recipients, but which also safeguards the interests and autonomy of the donor. In this article, the use of deceased donor organs for transplants that fail to meet standard donor criteria and the legitimacy of interventions and research aimed at optimizing their successful donation are discussed.

Abstract
HLA B-locus typing by group-specific PCR and hybridization with SSOP was performed in 81 10th IHWS B cell lines and 334 selected subjects of our local panel, from four ethnic groups. Most of the B-locus serological specificities were well defined. However, some antigens like B41, B58, B56, the splits of B14, and some subtypes of B5, were not accurately assigned by serology. In the panel studied, we found 17 hybridization patterns that corresponded to probable new alleles. New patterns occurred in the four ethnic groups examined. Multiple subtypes of B35, B5, B15, B41, B44, B57, B58, B70, B14, B40, B22 were found in subjects of the same ethnic group. In view of the poor serological definition of some alleles, and the occurrence of multiple subtypes in the same ethnic population, it appears that high resolution B-locus typing may be an important addition for detection of potentially relevant HLA incompatibilities in transplantation. It should also be valuable for population studies and for the investigation of HLA associations with diseases.

Abstract
Polymorphisms outside the hypervariable regions of HLA class II alleles that do not affect the peptide-binding site are probably not under selective pressure and could therefore be useful as markers of the evolutionary pathways of the HLA class II haplotypes. We have analyzed such a polymorphism in the variants of DQA1*03, which differ at residue 160 encoded in exon 3. Our study included homozygous BCLs of the 10th IHWS and samples of a multiracial panel of 723 unrelated subjects which were also typed for allelic variations in exon 2 by hybridization with SSOP. BCLs having DQA1*03 and 131 selected DQA1*03-positive samples were typed for the dimorphism in exon 3 that distinguishes DQA1*0301 and DQA1*0302. DQA1*0301 was found to be exclusively associated with DQB1*0302, while samples carrying DQB1*0201, 0301, 0303, and 0401 always had DQA1*0302. A few haplotypes carrying DQB1*0302 had DQA1*0302. The fact that DQA1*0301 is completely included in DQB1*0302, and not vice versa, suggests that DQA1*0301 may have arisen from a mutation in a haplotype containing DQA1*0302-DQB1*0302. DQB1*0302 was found to be associated with all DR4 subtypes, suggesting possibly that the current variants of DRB1-DR4 may be of more recent origin. DRB1*0405 was the only subtype of DR4 which was not associated with DQA1*0301 and had multiple associations with the DQB1 alleles, therefore, perhaps representing the oldest allele of this group.

Abstract
Sera of 120 cervical cancer patients as well as that of 116 healthy control persons were screened for lymphocytotoxic antibodies using microlymphocytotoxic tests variated in temperature and incubation time. In 76 of 120 cancer-sera (63.3%) lymphocytotoxic antibodies could be detected in comparison with 26 sera of 116 controls (22.4%); p less than 0.0005. With the differentiation into the stages of the disease the highest percentage of lymphocytotoxic antibodies was found in patients with stage 0 of cervical cancer. The presence of lymphocytotoxic antibodies in sera of cervical cancer patients suggest the possibility that this disease is an allotransplant as well as expression of an autoimmune process.

Abstract
In a series of 27 recipients of cadaver kidney grafts, 26 were at the time of writing alive, 3 to 25 months after transplantation, and 25 patients were alive with functioning first grafts. The one-year patient survival in 18 patients was 94% and the one-year graft survival was 89%. There was no beneficial correlation between tissue matching and the frequency of major early rejection episodes or graft function 12 or more months after transplantation. Antilymphocyte globulin administration was associated with a lower incidence of early rejection episodes, but this was not statistically significant. A combination of prophylactic graft irradiation and antilymphocyte globulin administration for at least the first two weeks was associated with a significantly reduced frequency of major early rejection episodes and appreciably better graft function at 12 months. This effect could not be ascribed to better tissue matching.
