Effects of a short course of leflunomide on T-independent B-lymphocyte xenoreactivity and on susceptibility of xenografts to acute or chronic rejection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Lipid peroxidation by free radicals is a key step in the development of atherosclerosis. Chronic graft nephropathy (CGN) is a common cause of allograft failure and shares many histologic features with atherosclerosis. Although hyperlipidemia is a common finding in renal transplant recipients, not all patient...
