HLA system

Abbreviation for human leucocyte antigen system, a series of gene groups (termed A, B, C, and D) that code for proteins on the surface of cells. If two people have the same HLA types, they are histocompatible (having compatible tissue types). HLA types feature in tissue testing before a transplant.
