[HTML][HTML] Serial ten‐year follow‐up of HLA and MICA antibody production prior to kidney graft failure
K Mizutani, P Terasaki, A Rosen, V Esquenazi… - American Journal of …, 2005 - Elsevier
The role of HLA antibodies in chronic allograft rejection was examined utilizing a unique
resource of sera collected annually and stored over a 12‐year period from patients with
rejected or retained grafts. In patients selected for not having preformed HLA antibodies, 679
postoperative serial serum samples from 39 patients who rejected their grafts and 26 with
functioning grafts were tested for HLA Class I and Class II antibodies by flow cytometry and
for MICA antibodies by cytotoxicity on recombinant cell lines. HLA antibodies were found in …
