Main tasks of the laboratory:

• Provision of all types of immunological research recipients and their donors for transplantation organizations organs (parts of an organ) and (or) tissues (parts of tissue);
• Conducting immunological examination of recipients, on the Waiting List of the curated region;
• Organization of collection of sera from recipients in need of transplantation of tissues (parts of tissues) and (or) organs (parts of organs) (hereinafter referred to as recipients);
• Conducting HLA studies for immunological control of engraftment of transplanted organs and tissues.

Lab Functions:

In accordance with the assigned tasks, the laboratory performs the following functions:

• Conducting HLA studies in recipients and donors in transplantation of kidneys and pancreas from an intravital and / or posthumous donor.
• Conducting HLA studies in recipients and donors in transplantation of other organs (liver, heart and others) of an intravital and (or) posthumous donor.
• HLA typing of recipients and donors in transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow) from related donors.
• Conducting HLA studies in recipients included in the List expectations of the curated region.
• Testing for compatibility "cross-match" between donor and recipient in organ transplantation.
• Determination of donor chimerism in recipients after transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow).
• Post-transplant monitoring of HLA antibodies in organ (tissue) transplant recipients.
• Individual selection of platelets for recipients based on the HLA phenotype, if necessary.
• Participation in the preparation of plans for professional development health workers on immunological tissue typing.
• Organization of outreach work on clinical implications of immunological studies.
• Submission of progress reports to the Central Laboratory.
