High incidence of monoclonal immunoglobulins in patients after liver or heart transplantation.

abstract：:In this study, we have investigated whether lymphocyte growth from 196 liver transplant biopsies is correlated with the histologic diagnosis of graft rejection. One fragment of each biopsy was cultured in IL-2 to expand activated T cells, and the remainder of the biopsy was analyzed histologically. A significantly hig...
