the type and percentage of antibodies effect whether donors are good matches for you or not. my son tested in the 86 perentile for common antigens reactions( 86 out of a hundred), yet they found a compatible doner for a heart lung transplant in 6 weeks. They odds were so very against him and he has had no rejection issues. Our friend who only has 4 common antibodies (as opposed to my sons 86) has been waiting for lungs for 4 months. today they thought they had a donor only to find out that the donor had one of his four antigens. so since he wasnt in critical condition and at a good placement on the waiting list, they decided not to use these organs and wait. they didnt want to risk any problems with rejection.
