Mutagenicity of cyclosporine. Induction of sister chromatid exchange in human cells.

abstract：:Publicly available program-specific data from the scientific registry of transplant recipients were used to determine the association between adult lung transplant center volume and 1-year recipient mortality from 2000 to 2007. We found a significant inverse association between the center volume of adult lung transpla...

abstract：:Class I molecules of the MHC affect target cell sensitivity to NK cell repertoire. In the mouse, absence of MHC class I molecules on target cells is associated with an increased susceptibility to NK cell-mediated lysis, while syngeneic class I molecules confer protection. In contrast to the protective role of syngenei...
