1. Tissue typing

   Tissue typing is a procedure in which the tissues of a prospective donor and recipient are tested for compatibility prior to transplantation. Mismatched donor and recipient tissues can lead to rejection of the tissues. There are multiple methods of tissue typing.

1. tissue typing

   Tissue typing, also known as HLA typing or histocompatibility testing, is a method used to determine how closely the tissues of one individual match the tissues of another individual. This is usually done in the context of organ or bone marrow transplantation to ensure that the recipient's immune system will not attack the transplanted organ or tissue. It involves identifying specific proteins, called human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), on the surface of cells that play a crucial role in the body's immune response. Everyone has a unique set of these proteins, inherited from their parents, making tissue typing essential for finding compatible donors and recipients.

1. Tissue typing

   Tissue typing is a procedure in which the tissues of a prospective donor and recipient are tested for compatibility prior to transplantation. An embryo can be tissue typed to ensure that the embryo implanted can be a cord-blood stem cell donor for a sick sibling. One technique of tissue typing, "mixed leukocyte reaction", is performed by culturing lymphocytes from the donor together with those from the recipient. Another technique, known as a micro-cytotoxicity assay, utilizes serum with known anti-HLA antibodies that recognize particular HLA loci in order to match genetically similar individuals in hopes of performing a tissue transplantation. In this technique a donor's blood cells are MHC typed by mixing them with serum containing the anti-HLA antibodies. If the antibodies recognize their epitope on the MHC then complement activation occurs and the cell will be osmotically lysed. Lysis results in the cell taking up a dye. This allows identification of cell's MHC indirectly based on the specificity of the known antibodies in the serum.
