[HTML][HTML] Monocyte infiltration and kidney allograft dysfunction during acute rejection

R Girlanda, DE Kleiner, Z Duan, EAS Ford… - American Journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Multiple cell types infiltrate acutely rejecting renal allografts. Typically, monocytes and T cells
predominate. Although T cells are known to be required for acute rejection, the degree to
which monocytes influence this process remains incompletely defined. Specifically, it has
not been established to what degree monocytes impact the clinical phenotype of rejection or
how their influence compares to that of T cells. We therefore investigated the relative impact
of T cells and monocytes by correlating their presence as measured by …
