Alloimmunity in primate heart recipients with CD154 blockade: evidence for alternative costimulation mechanisms.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The deceased donor score (DDS), expanded criteria donor (ECD) definition, and resistive index (RI) were developed for pretransplant evaluation of donors. DDS and ECD are determined by a calculation of risk from donor variables, while RI is determined from flow characteristics of kidneys during machine preser...
