TI  - Advancing Histocompatibility Testing for Solid Organ Transplantation - What is 
      Needed? A Personal Opinion.
PG  - 193-201
AB  - The field of histocompatibility testing has seen significant changes and 
      advancements in the past quarter of a century. The introduction of polymerase 
      chain reaction amplification into routine human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing 
      has informed us on the magnitude of polymorphism among HLA alleles. Solid phase 
      testing for antibodies has provided unparalleled insight into antibody 
      specificity and the role of antibody mediated rejection in transplant outcomes. 
      Herein, we provide a brief overview of advancements in the field that are 
      currently in progress. We also provide our own personal opinion on what is on the 
      horizon and the direction in which we think the field should progress.
