The role of pretransplant immunity in protection from cytomegalovirus disease following renal transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recipients of vascularized composite allografts require aggressive and lifelong immunosuppression, and because the surgery is usually performed in nonlife-threatening situations, the development of strategies to minimize immunosuppression is especially pertinent for this procedure. We investigated how comple...
