Abstract excerpt
Delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplantation is associated with an increased risk of acute rejection. Myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) are involved in graft rejection, whereas plasmacytoid DCs may play a role in inducing tolerance. We evaluated the presence and phenotype of the DCs in renal graft biopsies of 15 patients with DGF collected before and 7-15 days after transplantation. Biopsies taken from...
