Blood transfusions in liver recipients: a conundrum or a clear benefit in the cyclosporine/tacrolimus era?

abstract：:Although the clinical relevance of endothelial cell-monocyte (E-M) antigens has been demonstrated in organ graft transplantation, very limited data exist describing the nature of these antigens. The current study presents biochemical characterization of three different surface antigens of endothelial cells and monocyt...
