Prominent HLA-G Expression in Liver Disease But Not After Liver Transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is an important infection-related complication, whose mode of transmission remains uncertain. METHODS:We investigated a nosocomial cluster of 14 PJP cases (11 confirmed and 3 probable) in kidney transplant recipients using epidemiological and genotyping methods. RESUL...
