Transplanting the Elderly: Mandatory Age- and Minimal Histocompatibility Matching

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Worldwide over 40% of patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) are aged 65 years or older, a number that is still increasing. Renal transplantation is the preferred RRT, providing substantial survival benefit over those remaining on dialysis ...

Two polymorphisms facilitate differences in plasticity between two chicken major histocompatibility complex class I proteins [PDF]

, 2014
Major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC I) present peptides to cytotoxic T-cells at the surface of almost all nucleated cells. The function of MHC I molecules is to select high affinity peptides from a large intracellular pool and they ...

Qualitative and quantitative comparison of cell-free DNA and cell-free fetal DNA isolation by four (semi-)automated extraction methods: impact in two clinical applications: chimerism quantification and noninvasive prenatal diagnosis

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2021
Background Non-invasive molecular analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) became a sensitive biomarker for monitoring organ transplantation or for detection of fetal DNA (cffDNA) in noninvasive prenatal test. In this study, we compared the efficiencies of four

Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination coverage in Latin American patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a cross-sectional and comparative study

Advances in Rheumatology, 2021
Background Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus (SLE). Vaccination would be an effective method to reduce infection rate. Coverage for influenza and pneumococcus appears to be low in Latin America.
