Glossary Introductory Edition (Version1.4)

Abstract

Since 2019, Terminology Subcommittee, Committee for Education of Beginners, the Japanese Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (JSHI) has compiled a glossary (introductory edition) in parallel with holding lectures for beginners. The glossary (introductory edition) is a collection of terms (including abbreviations) that beginners who are engaged in HLA typing may have questions when they work or may review their knowledge. The Terminology Subcommittee offers the glossary for beginners who may be confused by unfamiliar technical terms in daily works or who would like to confirm the meaning of a term. Until now, it has been updated once a year in conjunction with the workshops for beginners. Number of terms was 24 in the first edition in 2019 becomes 78 terms in the latest edition (2023). The latest version (Ver.1.4) is shown below.
