Minor histocompatibility (H) antigen mismatching leads to clinically relevant alloimmune reactivity. Depending on the tissue expression pattern of the involved minor H antigens, the immune response may either cause graft-versus-host disease and a graft-versus-tumor effect or lead to only a graft-versus-leukemia effect. Thus, identification of recipient-donor pairs with minor H antigen mismatches has clinical importance. This chapter describes molecular typing methods for molecular typing of minor H antigens. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media, New York.
