Abstract
Major gains have been made in the area of clinical organ transplantations due to recent studies concerning the human histocompatibility locus (HLA). These basic science findings, along with developments in clinical pharmacology have allowed for a much broader use of donor sources, and a significant prolongation in clinical life span for these transplantation recipients.
