MeSH Heading: Histocompatibility Antigens
Tree Number(s): D23.050.301.500; D23.050.705.552
Unique ID: D006649
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006649
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specifics but for humans, use HLA ANTIGENS; /‌genet permitted but consider also MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX
Scope Note: A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.
Entry Term(s): Antigens, Transplantation; Histocompatibility Antigen; LD Antigens; SD Antigens; Transplantation Antigens
Previous Indexing: Histocompatibility (1970-1972); Immunology (1966-1972); Transplantation (1966-1972); Transplantation Immunology (1966-1969)
