DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2018.11.020
Abstract: Introduction The cellular events that contribute to generation of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) post-kidney transplantation (KTx) are not well understood. Characterization of such mechanisms could allow tailoring of immunosuppression to benefit sensitized patients. Methods We… read more here.
