Kaposi's sarcoma in liver transplant recipients on FK506: two case reports.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The inflammatory reaction that occurs during the 5 days after transplantation led at 3 days to the death of 70% of injected myoblasts. Use of anti-inflammatory agents appeared to be a possible way to increase myoblast survival. The application of gene transfer techniques to cell transplantation offers the po...
