Innate allorecognition by monocytic cells and its role in graft rejection
Innate recognition of microbial products and danger molecules by monocytes and macrophages has been well established; this is mediated primarily by pattern‐recognition receptors and is central to the activation of innate and adaptive immune cells ...

Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Kidney Graft Rejection [PDF]
Coagulation system is currently considered an integrated part of innate immunity. Clotting activation in response to bacterial surface along with complement cascade priming represents the first line of defense against pathogens. In the last three decades, we learned that several coagulation factors, including factor II or thrombin and factor X, can ...

Intestinal transplantation in composite visceral grafts or alone [PDF]
Under FK 506-based immunosuppression, the entire cadaver small bowel except for a few proximal and distal centimeters was translated to 17 randomly matched patients, of whom two had antigraft cytotoxic antibodies (positive cross-match).

Delayed allogeneic skin graft rejection in CD26-deficient mice
Organ transplantation is an effective therapeutic tool for treating many terminal diseases. However, one of the biggest challenges of transplantation is determining how to achieve the long-term survival of the allogeneic or xenogeneic transplant by, for ...

An endothelial rejection line following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty
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 ...

Corneal Allograft Rejection: Immunopathogenesis to Therapeutics [PDF]
Corneal transplantation is among the most successful solid organ transplants. However, despite low rejection rates of grafts in the ‘low-risk’ setting, rejection can be as high as 70% when grafted into ‘high-risk’ recipient beds. Under normal homeostatic

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

Current status of intestinal transplantation in children [PDF]
Purpose: A clinical trial of intestinal transplantation (Itx) under tacrolimus and prednisone immunosuppression was initiated in June 1990 in children with irreversible intestinal failure and who were dependent on total parenteral nutrition (TPN ...

Prediction of Kidney Graft Rejection Using Artificial Neural Network
Objectives Kidney transplantation is the best renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. Several studies have attempted to identify predisposing factors of graft rejection; however, the results have been inconsistent.
