Background. Intragraft cytokine expression was evaluated in a model of renal
transplantation. ACI and Lewis rats were used as donors and recipients, respectively, for …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-five (n 65) renal recipients (seven cadaver, 53 living
related donor, five not related living donor) including 35 men and 30 women, predominantly …

Pre-operative interleukin 2 and interleukin 2 receptor levels may predict subsequent renal
allograft rejection. - Abstract - Europe PMC Sign in | Create an account https://orcid.org Europe …

Background. One of the proposed mechanisms of tolerance induction is the Th-1/Th-2
paradigm. The Th-1 cell is proinflammatory, secreting IFN-γ and IL-2. Conversely, the Th-2 …

The frequency of delayed function of kidney transplants varies greatly and is associated with
quality of graft, donor age and the duration of cold ischemia time. Furthermore, body weight …

Certain cytokines, particularly γ-interferon (IFN) and interleukin (IL)-2 associated with TH 1
cell function, have been shown to play a role in allograft rejection. One paradigm for long …

Gene therapy approach has the potential to introduce immunosuppressive molecules
directly into the allograft (Tx), which should limit systemic side effects of conventional …

Background. The significance of noninvasive techniques to the early diagnosis of acute
rejection in kidney transplants remains elusive. In this study, we examined whether an early …

Background. Despite improvements in the short-term survival of renal transplants, many
allografts fail over the 5-10 years after transplantation. We sought to identify an immunologic …
