Abstract excerpt
Cytokines, which play important roles in allograft rejection, show variable production among individuals. These variations may be related to genetic polymorphisms within the regulatory regions of the cytokine genes. We investigated the association between the role tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-6 gene...
