<span>HLA</span>‐Typing of Donor‐Origin Cells Enriched From Urine Cell Culture of Kidney Transplanted Recipients Open
The incomplete or lack of histocompatibility information constitutes a barrier for the early detection and management of de novo donor‐specific antibodies (DSA). To improve the quantity and quality of DNA materials for HLA typing, we devel…

The Identification of 56 Novel <span>HLA</span> Alleles in Hong Kong Chinese Individuals in 2024 Open
We report here 56 novel HLA alleles identified in Hong Kong Chinese individuals. They have been submitted and officially named by the World Health Organization Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System in the year 2024.

(1, 3)-Beta-D-Glucan in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid: a useful biomarker in diagnosis of invasive pulmonary infection caused by Hormographiella aspergillata? Open
Hormographiella aspergillata is a rare hyaline mold causing invasive fungal infection in humans, until the frequent use of antifungal prophylaxis in immunocompromised hosts. Due to the high mortality of H. aspergillata infection, early rec…

<span>ABO</span>‐adjusted <span>cPRA</span> metric for kidney allocation in an Asian‐predominant population Open
Recent studies showed that ABO‐adjusted calculated panel reactive antibody (ABO‐cPRA) may better reflect the histocompatibility level in a multi‐ethnic population, but such data in Asians is not available. We developed an ABO‐adjusted cPRA…

Significance of anti-neutrophil antibody in chronic benign neutropenia in Chinese children Open
Background: Chronic benign neutropenia (CBN) and autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) are notoriously difficult to differentiate in children owing to their indistinguishable clinical course and varying availability and accuracy in the methods of a…

Establishing Simultaneous T Cell Receptor Excision Circles (TREC) and K-Deleting Recombination Excision Circles (KREC) Quantification Assays and Laboratory Reference Intervals in Healthy Individuals of Different Age Groups in Hong Kong Open
The clinical experience gathered throughout the years has raised awareness of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDD). T cell receptor excision circles (TREC) and kappa-deleting recombination excision circles (KREC) assays for thymic and …

Role of Regulatory T Cells in Noninherited Maternal Antigen-Related Tolerance in Cord Blood: An in Vitro Study Open
Cord blood (CB) is an alternative stem cell source for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The unique advantages of using CB as a stem cell source are a degree of permissibility for HLA mismatch, rapid availability, …
