The role of antibodies directed against the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system has been well analyzed in rejection of solid organ transplantations [1, 2] and in transfusion medicine [3]. In the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT), only in the recent years their importance has been better defined, even though anti-HLA antibodies are frequently detectable in hematologic patients, due to sensitization from multiple transfusions, usually before the introduction of online universal leukoreduction, previous transplantations, and pregnancies in female patients.

Abstract
The role of antibodies directed against the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system has been well analyzed in rejection of solid organ transplantations [1, 2] and in transfusion medicine [3]. In the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT), only in the recent years their importance has been better defined, even though anti-HLA antibodies are frequently detectable in hematologic patients, due to sensitization from multiple transfusions, usually before the introduction of online universal leukoreduction, previous transplantations, and pregnancies in female patients.
