Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab) therapy for acute cardiac humoral rejection: a case report.

abstract：:Multiple pretransplant sera obtained from alloimmunized renal transplant recipients were tested for the presence of antiidiotypic-like antibodies (AB2) that inhibit donor-specific HLA antibodies in the microlymphocytotoxicity assay. Fourteen patients received repetitive single-donor blood transfusions (SDT). In this p...
