Differential immune response to influenza and pneumococcal vaccination in immunosuppressed patients after heart transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:HLAMatchmaker is a computer algorithm that determines human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility at the level of polymorphic amino acid triplets in antibody-accessible sequence positions. Recent studies have shown that HLA-DR-matched kidney transplant recipients with zero to two triplet mismatches had almos...
