Chronic Allograft Nephropathy [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2003 Long-term survival of kidney transplants (renal allografts) has changed little during the past decade, despite dramatic improvements in short-term survival. Most late renal allograft loss, other than that associated with the death of the patient, has been attributed to progressive renal dysfunction, termed "chronic allograft nephropathy" (or CAN), a ...

CD160Ig fusion protein targets a novel costimulatory pathway and prolongs allograft survival. [PDF]
, 2013 CD160 is a cell surface molecule expressed by most NK cells and approximately 50% of CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Engagement of CD160 by MHC class-I directly triggers a costimulatory signal to TCR-induced proliferation, cytokine production and ...

Concomitant Polyoma BK Virus and West Nile Virus in Renal Allografts
Pathogens, 2023 Surveillance of the renal allograft recipient is essential when monitoring renal function to detect the early onset of rejection and alter therapeutic treatments to treat acute rejection or other causes and improve long-term graft function.

Reduced CD40L expression on ex vivo activated CD4+T-lymphocytes from patients with excellent renal allograft function measured with a rapid whole blood flow cytometry procedure [PDF]
, 2004 Background: The CD40-CD40L (CD154) costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney allograft rejection. In renal transplant biopsies, CD4+ CD40L+ graft-infiltrating cells were detected during chronic rejection in contrast to ...

Non-invasive monitoring of renal transplant recipients: Urinary excretion of soluble adhesion molecules and of the complement-split product C4d [PDF]
, 2003 Background: The number of inducible adhesion molecules known to be involved in cell-mediated allograft rejection is still increasing. In addition, recent data describe complement activation during acute humoral allograft rejection.
