Kidney transplants, antibodies and rejection: is C4d a magic marker? [PDF]

, 2017
The immunohistochemical detection of the complement degradation product C4d in renal allograft biopsies has gained considerable clinical interest in recent years. The accumulation of C4d along peritubular capillaries is generally regarded as a marker for

A Novel Perspective on Tubular C4d Positivity in BK Polyomavirus Nephropathy

Kidney International Reports
Introduction: Tubular basement membrane (TBM) C4d staining has been frequently observed in BK polyomavirus nephropathy (BKPyVN); however, its specificity and clinical implications remain unclear.

C4d and the Fate of Organ Allografts [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
Research over the past ten years has revealed that humoral rejection of organ transplants is associated with C4d deposits along the capillaries of the graft ([1][1]–[3][2]) and, hence, it is thought that C4d provides a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker.

Pathological diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection in renal allograft without c4d staining, how much reliable?

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2012
Background: C4d as a part of complement activation process is a marker for detecting antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and its positivity accompanied by positive donor specific antibody (DSA), and morphologic view of humoral rejection has been suggested
