Pre-transplant donor-reactive IL-21 producing T cells as a tool to identify an increased risk for acute rejection

Abstract Pre-transplant screening focuses on the detection of anti-HLA alloantibodies. Previous studies have shown that IFN-γ and IL-21 producing T cells are associated with the development of acute rejection (AR). The aim of this study, was to assess whether pre-transplant donor-reactive T cells an...
