Patient Alice is in the final stages of kidney failure, and needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible. You test her HLA type and find that she has HLA-A2, -A22, HLA-B7, -B44, and HLA-DR3, -DR4. Her father is no longer living, and her mother (who was once typed as having HLA-A2) has a history of kidney damage herself. Of the following available donors, who would be the best one (i.e., which kidney would provide the least barrier to acceptance)?

a. brother Joe: HLA haplotype HLA-A8, A22, HLA-B7, B45, HLA-DR2, DR4

b. brother Bob: HLA haplotype HLA-A3, A8, HLA-B27, B45, HLA-DR2, DR3

c. sister Anne: HLA haplotype HLA-A2, A3, HLA-B27, B44, HLA-DR3

d. unrelated cadaveric donor: HLA haplotype HLA-A2, A3, HLA-B7, B8, HLA-DR2, DR3
