In 1986, the Committee of Experts on Blood Transfusion and Immunohaematology of the Council of Europe chose for their Programme of Co-ordinated Research "An investigation of the procurement and sharing of transplantable organs for potential recipients who are highly sensitized to HLA-antigens". This topic was of common concern to all centres practising renal transplantation. The terms of reference of the study were:
1. To estimate the number of patients who are virtually "untransplantable" because of high sensitization in each European country.
2. To study the nature of immunization in terms of the type and specificity of antibodies present in the blood and techniques used for their detection.
3. To investigate possible practical solutions - both current and future, involving cross-matching procedures, the circulation of reference material from patients, and the willingness of the national organizations to share resources.
4. To explore other methods of resolving this problem.
