Virtual crossmatch (VXM) compares a transplant candidates unacceptable antigens to the HLA typing of the donor before an organ offer is accepted and, in selected cases, supplant a prospective physical crossmatch. However, deceased donor typing can be ambiguous, leading to uncertainty in compatibility prediction. We have developed a web application that utilizes ambiguous HLA molecular typing data to assist in VXM assessments. The application compares a candidates listed unacceptable antigens to computed probabilities of all possible two-field donor HLA alleles and UNOS antigens. The VIrtual CrossmaTch for mOleculaR HLA typing (VICTOR) tool can be accessed at http://www.transplanttoolbox.org/victor. We reanalyzed historical VXM cases where a transplant centers manual interpretation of molecular typing results influenced offer evaluation. We found that VICTORs automated interpretation of ambiguous donor molecular typing data would influence VXM decisions. Standardized interpretation of molecular typing data, if applied to the match run, could also change which offers are made. HLA typing ambiguity has been an underappreciated source of immunological risk in organ transplantation. The VICTOR tool can serve as a testbed for development of allocation policies with the aim of decreasing offers refused due to HLA incompatibility.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
