Abstract
THIS preliminary report considers 126 kidney transplants from cadaver donors performed in one centre over a period of 6 yr. All were first grafts. Previous sensitisation to human leukocyte antigens (HL–A) had been kept to a minimum by avoidance of transfusion where possible. Eight patients had weak lymphocytotoxic antibody induced by pregnancy or transfusion before transplantation.
