Advanced donor-origin melanoma in a renal transplant recipient: immunotherapy, cure, and retransplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Detection of markers predicting allograft rejection is important for risk assessment before kidney transplantation, as well as to minimize posttransplantation immunosuppression. METHODS:We studied the expression of CD25, HLA-DR, CD134, CD62L, and CD44 by flow cytometry in CD4, CD8, and CD3 cells, from pretr...
