Low proportion of follicular regulatory T cell in renal transplant patients with chronic antibody-mediated rejection

Abstract Follicular regulatory T (Tfr) cell can effectively regulate humoral immunity, but its function and mechanism in antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after organ transplantation remains unclear. Here we detected follicular helper T (Tfh) cell subsets in 88 renal transplant patients with chronic...
