Studies by molecular biologists, protein chemists and cell biologists are rapidly providing new tools and information for those interested in the cellular mechanisms of graft rejection. Despite these contributions, a clear picture of the mechanisms involved in rejection has not yet evolved. However,

It is generally agreed that a multiplicity of mechanisms are involved in the rejection of various grafts across different histocompatibility barriers. Recent publications have concentrated less on the characterization of the cells involved in the rejection process and more on their initial activatio
The occurrence of acute cellular rejection after orthotopic liver transplantation is common. At present, no allowance is made in immunosuppressive regimens for parameters other than weight. We investigated parameters in 121 consecutive patients receiving their primary allograft to determine if there
Tolerance develops in a proportion of long-term liver transplant recipients but currently cannot be identified before an attempt at withdrawal from immunosuppression therapy. In the present study, we have examined the immunophenotypic characteristics of the cellular infiltrate in portal tracts and l
Acute cellular rejection of the allograft is a potentially serious complication after liver transplantation, yet its true incidence is unknown. We therefore investigated the frequency of acute cellular rejection reported by transplant centers and its impact on morbidity and mortality. Morbidity was
