Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are proteins found on the surface of cells that help the immune system distinguish between self and non-self cells. Matching HLAs between the donor and recipient increases the chance of successful tissue transplant as it reduces the risk of the recipient's immune system rejecting the transplant as foreign. IgD antibodies and seroantigens are not directly involved in tissue matching for transplantation.
