Inhibition of in vitro immunoglobulin production by rapamycin.

abstract：BACKGROUND:African American kidney transplant recipients generally exhibit poor long-term graft survival compared with other ethnic groups. The combination of sirolimus, tacrolimus, and corticosteroids has proven to be effective in reducing rejection episodes in high-risk organ and islet cell transplant recipients but ...
