Comparison of Preemptive Therapy and Antiviral Prophylaxis for Prevention of Cytomegalovirus in Seropositive Liver Transplant Recipients.

abstract：:T cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain usage by HLA-DR1 alloreactive T cell lines was examined to determine whether common TCR gene segments were used preferentially. We have demonstrated previously that a DR1-specific, human renal allograft-derived T cell line and replicate, anti-DR1 mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR), estab...
