Immunobiology of HLA: Volume II: Immunogenetics and Histocompatibility Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1989 edition

This set reports the results of the 10th International Histocompatibility Workshop, in which 362 laboratories collaborated over a three year period in research projects on the classification of HLA genes and their products. "Volume 1" describes the experimental design of the workshop studies and their results. "Volume 2" is a collection of papers on the latest developments in the molecular biology of HLA systems. Immunobiology of HLA is a valuable reference for tissue typing laboratories, blood banks, and general research programs on HLA and related diseases because it identifies common sources of HLA genes and gene products to be used as reference reagents, and because it is the only complete compilation of the latest research and results in the field.
