Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Polyclonal antilymphocyte globulins (ALGs) are currently used in transplantation, but the sources of interindividual variability of their effect are poorly understood. No pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) study of ALG is available. Moreover, the genetic polymorphism of FcgammaRIIIa, a receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins involved in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), may...
