Proliferative alloresponse of T cytotoxic cells identifies rejection-prone children with small bowel transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Long-term use of immunosuppressants is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in transplant recipients. A simple whole blood assay that has U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance directly assesses the net state of immune function of allograft recipients for better individualization of thera...
