MeSH definition : A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens.
The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They
determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter
are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.;
