Research Abstract

Minor histocompatibility antigens(H) are polymorphic proteins targeted by donor immune cells to cure hematological malignancies following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. This immune response utilizes rejection reaction due to genetic disparities between individuals. In this study, we developed a software that can efficiently identify single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) responsible for generation of minor H antigens among large number of SNPs and have made the software available via internet as researcher-friendly interactive manners.
