American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics
The American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) is the professional society that runs the journal of Human Immunology. Founded in 1972, the society has since gathered over 1,000 members from over 33 countries.
ASHI is the first HLA organization established in the world. They are responsible for accrediting
HLA typing laboratories internationally to maintain the quality standards for histocompatibility testing between donors and recipients, with
UNOS and
NMDP utilizing its service to inspect and determine whether laboratories complied to industrial practices. They also published the first CWD (common and well documented) allele list, encouraging researchers to compare genetic differences between populations.
ASHI also sponsors several awards in recognition of accomplishments and contributions to the field of
histocompatibility
Histocompatibility, or tissue compatibility, is the property of having the same, or sufficiently similar, alleles of a set of genes called human leukocyte antigens (HLA), or major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Each individual expresses many uni ...
