Antibodies directed against antigens on the endothelium of peritubular capillaries in patients with rejecting renal allografts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Neutrophilic tubulitis accompanied by intratubular neutrophil clusters in the renal allograft is a surrogate marker for urinary tract infection (UTI). Overlapping histologic findings can occur in antibody-mediated rejection, which is characterized by peritubular capillary (PTC) deposition of C4d. This study ...
