[HTML][HTML] Allospecific CD154+ T cells associate with rejection risk after pediatric liver transplantation
C AshokKumar, A Talukdar, Q Sun, BW Higgs… - American Journal of …, 2009 - Elsevier
Antigen-specific T cells, which express CD154 rapidly, but remain untested in alloimmunity,
were measured with flow cytometry in 16-h MLR of 58 identically immunosuppressed
children with liver transplantation (LTx), to identify Rejectors (who had experienced biopsy-
proven rejection within 60 days posttransplantation). Thirty-one children were sampled
once, cross-sectionally. Twenty-seven children were sampled longitudinally, pre-LTx, and at
1–60 and 61–200 days after LTx. Results were correlated with proliferative alloresponses …
