WELSH TRANSPLANTATION & IMMUNOGENETICS LABORATORY

The Welsh Transplantation and Immunogenetics Laboratory was founded in 1974 within the Welsh Blood Service. The service is located near the village of Pontyclun a few miles to the north west of Cardiff, Wales' capital... WHAIS provides Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (H & I) support to a variety of health care providers ranging from specialist transplant units to General Practitioners. This service is critical to both solid organ and blood stem cell transplant programmes. The services provided include: HLA typing, patient/donor crossmatching, HLA antibody testing, solid organ and stem cell donor/recipient matching, platelet typing and platelet antibody testing. Our staff work closely with clinicians in the management of solid organ transplant, blood stem cell transplant and thrombocytopenic patients.
