Brief description/objective

The human mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) is an important model for allogeneic recognition established in the clinical routine of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The measurement of proliferation in the MLC has no high predictive value either for the rejection nor for the graft-versus-host-disease and may not be used for the transplantation of cadaveric allografts because of its long duration.
