Mechanisms underlying continued survival of rat kidney allografts after a short period of chemical immunosuppression.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the development of chronic kidney allograft rejection acute rejection (AR) is the single most important risk factor. Although Cyclosporin A (CsA) medication has decreased the incidence of AR, chronic rejection (CR) is still the major reason for late allograft loss. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is...
