Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hi, everyone, This is a patient with cirrhosis and histoplasmosis, awaiting liver transplant. Doctor dictates that she will get " histoantigen, " and I cannot document this anywhere except for only 2 or 3 hits on Google. I wonder if she is just shortening histoplasma antigen assay. In any event, I would like to know what others would do. Thanks! --------------------------------- a in Maine BA English Career Step Grad Total eMed - 8/19/02 Multispecialty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 a, I don't know if this will help, but I thought I would send you the information I had in my books. In my Sloane and Dusseau Work Book in Pathology & Lab Medicine it has: histocompatibility antigen. I have in another book, Dictionary of Immunology, histocompatibility antigen is: ...when tissue is grafted on to another individual of the same species whose tissues do not carry that antigen, it may incite an immune response which leads to graft rejection. The most closely studied histocompatibility antigens are those of the H-2 histocompatibility system in mice and the HLA histocompatibility system in man. I don't know if this will help, but I thought it might give you a direction to look. Debi Student -- Histoantigen?
