Chronic Active Antibody-Mediated Rejection Is Associated With the Upregulation of Interstitial But Not Glomerular Transcripts

Molecular evaluation of renal allografts has already been recommended in antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), however little is thought in regards to the gene transcript patterns specifically renal compartments. We used laser seize microdissection coupled with quantitative RT-PCR to differentiate the transcript patterns within the glomeruli and tubulointerstitium of kidney allografts in sensitized retransplant recipients at excessive […]
