Definition. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) test, also known as HLA typing or tissue typing, identifies antigens on the white blood cells (WBCs) that determine tissue compatibility for organ transplantation (that is, histocompatibility testing).uman leukocyte antigen testing is performed to reduce the probability of both rejection and GVHD. Typing is also used along with blood typing and DNA tests to determine the parentage (that is, for paternity testing).
HLA Matching. Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) is a type of protein that is found on the outer surfaces of cells. HLA protein is made up of six antigens, molecules that stimulate an immune response and help your body identify which cells belong to your body and which do not.t is the responsibility of a transplant center to find a stem cell donor for a patient, and not the individual. A doctor may perform a preliminary search for a donor without obliging the patient to necessarily undergo a stem cell transplant.
