Molecular Imaging of Acute Cardiac Transplant Rejection: Animal Experiments and Prospects.

abstract：:The success of kidney transplants is limited by the lack of robust improvements in long-term survival. It is now recognized that alloimmune responses are responsible for the majority of allograft failures. Development of novel therapies to decrease allosensitization is critical. The lack of new drug development in kid...

The skin component of composite tissue (e.g., limb) allografts is especially antigenic, necessitating toxic immunosuppressant doses to prevent or reverse acute rejection. ...
