B-Cell Targets to Treat Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Transplantation
Journal Title: International Journal of Transplantation Research and Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in allograft transplantation can be defined with a rapid increase in the levels of specific serological parameters after organ transplantation, presence of donor specific antibodies (DSAs) against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, blood group (ABO) antigens and/or endothelial cell antigens (e.g. MICA, ECA, Vimentin, or ETAR) and also particular histological parameters.
