We studied the transcripts that are increased by stress and injury in mouse kidney
transplants, focusing on transcripts increased in parenchymal cells—injury and repair‐
induced transcripts (IRITs). We compared four types of stressed kidneys: isografts, allografts,
host kidneys of mice with isografts and nontransplant kidneys with ischemic acute tubular
necrosis (ATN). After excluding transcripts associated with infiltrating cells and interferon‐γ‐
induced transcripts, we defined 790 IRITs in isografts. IRITs were remarkably heterogeneous …
