The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) was discovered as a con sequence of the chronic problem encountered by cancer biologists in the early years of this century: the failure to maintain tumor lines by serial passage in outbred mice. A number of observations pointed to genetic similarity being a prerequisite for successful transplantation and they were incorporated into a genetic theory of transplantation by C.C. Little. This prompted scientists like Little to initiate breeding experiments designed to test his hypothesis and produce genetically identical mice which would permit the growth of trans planted tumors. Most inbred strains of mice commonly used in immunology derive from those efforts. Transplantation of normal tissues obeyed the same rules found for malignant tissues and rejection was shown to be an immunological phenomenon. G.D. Snell showed that a single genetic locus determined rapid rejection of skin grafts. This was initially called the Major Histocompatibility Locus but was subsequently shown to include many functionally related genes and renamed the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). In mouse this is the H-2 complex and man the HLA complex. During this same period P.A.

This outstanding reference source on bone marrow transplantation has become recognised as the bible in the field. This fourth edition has been fully revised to reflect latest developments, and now features over 500 illustrations, including a colour plate section. The need for this new edition cannot be overstated - more than 13,000 new cases per year of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation have been reported to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry The original editor, Donnall Thomas, was a pioneer in stem cell research and won the 1990 Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning organ and cell transplantation in the treatment of human diseases. The book also now includes a fully searchable CD with PDFs of the entire content.
All virus or minor histocompatibility antigen specific, HLA-A2.1 restricted CTL
populations cross react poorly, if at all, with the minor subtype antigens,
suggesting that the vast majority of HLA-A2.1 specific restriction epitopes have
been lost.

This reference presents comprehensive coverage of graft-versus-host disease. A historical overview of graft-versus-host disease is provided, followed by a description of the major histo-compatibility complex. The results of the experimental models of graft-versus-host disease are also described. The second half of the book examines both acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, as well as clinical trials involved in both of these entities. Promising approaches for the prevention and treatment of graft-versus-host disease are also investigated.

Presents a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of the most common disorders of red blood cells, white blood cells, and hemostasis. Each disease state is discussed in terms of underlying pathophysiology, clinical features which suggest the diagnosis, the use of state-of-the-art lab tests in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the condition, and current management.
