HLA typing is a genetic test through which the unique pattern of genes encoding human leukocyte antigen (HLA) surface proteins on a person’s cells is identified. The human immune system uses HLAs to differentiate self from non-self and normal vs. non-normal. In a clinical approach, this information is used e.g., to match donors and recipients for organ transplants or perform successful blood transfusions or stem cell transplantations. A person’s individual HLA type can also be used in diagnostics for autoimmune diseases, to identify differences between cancer vs. normal cells, develop (cancer) drugs and vaccines or to determine the genetics of a disease.
At PromoCell, the HLA information of each individual donor (not available for pooled donors) is readily at hand, which saves the customers valuable time and resources.
