The program works bloodgroup compatible.
We used the Eurotransplant data from 1996 till January 5th 2005.
Records with missing data are deleted from the database.
HLA is at split level.
The total amount of organs is 30607.
Always type acceptables with "," at the end.
Otherwise the program has problems with alleles like A1 and A11.
The patients HLA must be typed without the "," .

When a "Bw4" is entered as an unacceptable antigen, only the B-alleles are considered.

When a "Bw6" is entered as an unacceptable antigen, the B42 is not reckoned as unacceptable too.
