The recruitment of inflammatory cells into renal tissue, mainly T cells and monocytes, is a
typical feature of various renal diseases such as glomerulonephritis, thrombotic
angiopathies, allograft rejection, and vasculitis. T cells predominantly infiltrate the

inflammatory conditions, this study investigated whether a differential expression of …
