After an HLA match is determined, a HLA antibody screen is used to verify compatibility between the patient and the nonrelated donor. This tests for any antibodies the patient may have that could lead to rejection of the transplant. ABO blood typing is important for determining blood type compatibility, but this does not fully determine organ compatibility. CDC assay and RAST test are not used in determining organ compatibility.
