Polymorphism of Adhesion Molecule CD31 and Its Role in Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) caused by poorly defined minor (i.e., other than HLA) histocompatibility antigens remains a serious problem in recipients of bone marrow transplants. We sought to determine whether the CD31 adhesion molecule is a minor alloantigen.
