*HLA superfamily based on similarities of their peptide-binding motifs, such as HLA-A3-like (A3, A11, A31, A33 and A*6801), B44-like (B37, B41, B44, B45, B47, B49, B50, B60 and B61).29 

F3-151

Total number of patients: 118.

F3-152

Pcorrected = 1 − (1 − p)n, where P is the original P value and n is the number of tests performed (n = 3 for CD62L, n = 6 for CD31, n = 18 for CD49b + CD62L and CD31∥ + CD62L).

F3-153

The definition of the compatibility is as follows. If the recipient has no adhesion molecule alleles that are foreign to the donor, the genotypes are considered compatible; if any adhesion molecule alleles found in the recipient are also not found in the donor, the genotypes are considered incompatible.
