One of the central areas of work of the Institute is transplantation diagnostics, both in the field of stem cell transplantation and in the transplantation of solid organs as a laboratory affiliated to EUROTRANSPLANT. This activity is integrated into a framework of national and international organizations and laws.
Stem cell transplantation:
- High-resolution HLA typing of donors and recipients
- Diagnosis for donor preparation (IDM, blood groups)
- Monitoring of mixed allogeneic chimerism
Solid organ transplantation:
- HLA typing of transplant recipients and living donors
- Detection and specification of alloantibodies prior to transplantation
- Monitoring of possible immunological rejections
- Consultation with the transplant centres Kaiserslautern and Homburg/Saar
