A Feasible Method for Quantifying Living Pancreatic Human Islets in Murine Livers Posttransplantation by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Prophylactic ganciclovir (GCV) is used in high-risk renal transplant patients to prevent acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, but its impact on inflammation within the allograft itself remains undefined. METHODS:To study the effect of GCV prophylaxis on allograft inflammation, murine CMV (MCMV)-infected all...
