HLA-DR HLA-DR is a MHC class II cell surface receptor encoded by the human leukocyte antigen complex on chromosome 6 region 6p21.31. The complex of HLA-DR and its ligand, a peptide of 9 amino acids in length or longer, constitutes a ligand for the T-cell receptor. HLA were originally defined as cell surface antigens that mediate graft-versus-host disease, which resulted in the rejection of tissue transplants in HLA-mismatched donors.
A kidney transplant is a surgical operation that places a functioning kidney from a donor into your body. The transplanted kidney takes over the work of the kidneys that failed, and you no longer need dialysis. In most parts of the country the waiting list to get a transplanted kidney ranges from 3-5 years or longer.
