Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"). SangStat's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors and permissible indemnification of officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. SangStat's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, under the Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to SangStat and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the fiduciary duty of the directors, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to SangStat for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. SangStat has entered into Indemnification Agreements with its officers and directors. The Indemnification Agreements provide SangStat's officers and directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Not Applicable.

Re: SangStat Medical Corporation Registration Statement
for Offering of 400,000 Shares of Common Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I refer to your registration on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 400,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan. I advise you that, in my opinion, when such shares have been issued and sold under the applicable provisions of the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, and in accordance with the Registration Statement, such shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock.
I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and further consent to the use of my name wherever appearing in the Registration statement, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof, which has been approved by me, as such may be further amended or supplemented.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Carole L. Nuechterlein
