Abstract excerpt
The dendritic cells (DC) of an allograft recipients become engaged not only in an allogeneic but also antibacterial reaction. They react to the alloantigens and microorganisms which colonize the rejecting grafts. This leads to overstimulation of DCs what may non-specifically intensity the rejection process. We investigated the effects of allogeneic and bacterial antigens on splenic DCs phenotypes. In vitro...
