Abstract

The MtC tests performed prospectively was correlated with graft survival in 73 living, related grafts. The MLC was expressed as the relative response (RR), and graft survival assessed at six months, one year and two years. The l-haplotype matched grafts with high RR had poorer graft survival at one and two years than those with low RR, but this difference was not statistically significant.
