Effects of leflunomide and cyclosporine on myocutaneous allograft survival in the rat.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Existing data indicate that non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) immunogenetic polymorphisms influence the risk of complications after allogeneic hemopoietic stem-cell transplantation. However, prior studies have been limited by small sample size and limited genotyping. METHODS:We examined 22 polymorphisms in ...
