Immune regulatory CD4 ฯฉ CD25 ฯฉ T cells play a crucial role in inducing and maintaining allograft tolerance in experimental models of transplantation (Tx). In humans, the effect of Tx and immunosuppression on the function and homeostasis of CD4 ฯฉ CD25 ฯฉ regulatory T cells (Tregs) is not well characte

In this issue, Fiel et al. 1 use the phrase "plasma cell hepatitis (de novo autoimmune hepatitis)" to describe what they eventually conclude to be a variant of acute rejection. This study was likely prompted by curiosity about the significance of plasma cell-rich infiltrates in liver allograft biops
Previous studies have shown that postoperative infection is highest in transplant recipients with preexisting high levels of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). To study this phenomenon, 106 adult liver transplant recipients were divided into 3 groups, based on hierarchical clustering of the CD3 ฯฉ CD8 ฯฉ
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a successful treatment in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)associated end-stage liver disease worldwide. T lymphocytes and their cytokines are believed to have a pivotal role in the defense against HCV and in allograft rejection. An immunosuppressive dru
