Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing

More and more people are alive today because of advances in complex tissue typing. Human Leukocyte Antigen Typing, or HLA typing, is essential for organ transplants, marrow transplants and others needing HLA-matched blood components. BloodSource’s HLA laboratory is one of the most highly acclaimed in the world.
