1. Under "Select Eplets", choose either "All" or "Confirmed" to view either all eplets in the locus-specific section or only those that have been confirmed by informative antibodies.
2. Use the "Search by allele" filter to show eplets for an allele. Enter the full name of the allele of interest, for example, A*11:01 or DRB1*08:01. Click on "Filter" or press the Enter key, and the list of eplets will appear below the filter information. Please note, only one allele can be entered at a time.
3. Use the "HLA typing of recipient" filter to show eplets that are mismatched for an HLA phenotype. Enter the full name of each allele, leaving spaces blank if an allele is unknown. (Please note, the appropriate locus name and "*" will appear when you place the cursor
in any of the HLA type fields; a colon, ":", will automatically appear after the first two digits are entered) Click on "Filter" or press the Enter key. Enter the full name of each allele, leaving spaces blank if an allele is unknown. If the HLA-C alleles are unknown, leave those fields blank. Similarly, if only the DRB1 alleles are known, enter only those, leaving the last two fields for DRB3/DRB4/DRB5 empty. Click on "Filter" or press the Enter key. Please note, it may take a few moments to display results for this filter.
4. Use both filters in combination to display eplets on an allele that are mismatched for a given HLA type. For example, the combined filters can be used to identify eplet mismatches for a specific patient"s HLA phenotype that are found on a specific donor allele.
5. To edit existing filter parameters, click on "Filters". The existing information will appear, and parameters can be added or changed. To clear the filter parameters and start over, click on "Back". Please note, if the filters have been used multiple times to add information, the "Back" button may need to be clicked more than one time to completely clear the allele fields.
