OX40 mRNA in peripheral blood as a biomarker of acute renal allograft rejection
Y Wang, YX Fu, Z Zhu, W Hui, Z Shen - Chinese Medical Journal, 2012 - journals.lww.com
Background Acute rejection remains an important cause of renal allograft dysfunction and
the need for accurate diagnosis is essential to successfully treat transplant recipients. The
purpose of this study was to determine the costimulatory molecules OX40 and OX40L
messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to predict
acute renal transplant rejection. Methods The whole blood samples from 20 recipients with
biopsy-confirmed acute rejection (rejection group), 20 recipients with stable graft function …
