Deoxyspergualin in lethal murine graft-versus-host disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Diagnosing acute rejection (AR) in kidney transplant recipients typically requires an invasive kidney biopsy. A previous study has suggested that expression of five genes in peripheral blood can indicate the presence of AR in American pediatric kidney transplant recipients. This study aims to validate if the...
