| histocompatibility |
compatibility between two organs or tissues so that a graft (of an organ or of cells) is not rejected. This compatibility depends on the genetic similarities between donor and recipient.

| histocompatibility |
This is a term used to determine how identical two unrelated individuals are. Identical twins are totally histocompatible (same tissues). Brothers and Sisters are semi-histocompatible. The chances of unrelated individuals being histocompatible, like identical twins is one in 3 million.

| histocompatibility |
the examination of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a patient, often referred to as "tissue typing" or "genetic matching". Tissue typing is routinely performed for all donors and recipients in kidney and pancreas transplantation to help match the donor with the most suitable recipients. This helps to decrease the likelihood of "rejecting" the transplanted organ.

| histocompatibility |
Referring to the similarity of tissue between different individuals. The level of histocompatibility describes how well the patient and donor are matched. The major histocompatibility determinants are the human leukocyte antigens (HLA). HLA typing is performed between the potential marrow donor and the potential transplant recipient to determine how closely their HLAs match. The closer the match, the less the donated marrow and the patient's body will react against each other. (See "GVHD.")
