Approaches toward enhancing survival probability following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty
Therapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology, 2020 The greatest advantage of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty over full-thickness corneal transplantation is the elimination of graft failure caused by endothelial rejection.

An endothelial rejection line following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty
BMC Ophthalmology, 2020 Background The endothelial rejection line is rarely seen after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasties (DSAEKs). Here, we present a case of endothelial graft rejection with an endothelial rejection line occurring 1 year after the ...

Not All Antibodies Are Created Equal: Factors That Influence Antibody Mediated Rejection. [PDF]
, 2017 Consistent with Dr. Paul Terasaki's "humoral theory of rejection" numerous studies have shown that HLA antibodies can cause acute and chronic antibody mediated rejection (AMR) and decreased graft survival. New evidence also supports a role for antibodies
