Why do we reject a graft? Role of indirect allorecognition in graft rejection [PDF]
renal transplant dysfunction, as manifested by a slow, progressive rise in serum creatinine, developed; the decreasing renal function was associated with proteinuria (1 to 2 g/24 hr). The erratic cyclosporine levels and blood pressure readings led to the suspicion that he remained noncompliant with his medications.

Intestinal transplantation under tacrolimus monotherapy after perioperative lymphoid depletion with rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (thymoglobulin®) [PDF]
Modifications in the timing and dosage of immunosuppression can ameliorate the morbidity and mortality that has prevented widespread use of intestinal transplantation (ITx) in children.

BAT2 and BAT3 polymorphisms as novel genetic risk factors for rejection after HLA-related SCT. [PDF]
The genetic background of donor and recipient is an important factor determining the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (allo-HSCT). We applied whole-genome analysis to investigate genetic variants - other than HLA class I and II - associated with ...

Lack of Association between Interleukin-10 Gene Polymorphisms and Graft Rejection Risk in Kidney Transplantation Recipients: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important immunomodulatory cytokine. Several studies focused the association between IL-10 promoter gene polymorphisms and graft rejection risk in kidney transplantation recipients.

The oriented graph of multi-graftings in the Fuchsian case [PDF]
We prove the connectedness and calculate the diameter of the oriented graph of graftings associated to exotic complex projective structures on a compact surface S with a given holonomy representation of Fuchsian type. The oriented graph of graftings is the graph whose vertices are the equivalence classes of marked CP^1-structures on S with a given ...
