Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both chemokines and adhesion molecules mediate allograft rejection by recruiting leukocytes into the allograft. We investigated the association of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in interleukin (IL)-8, CXCR1, CXCR2, and selectin with kidney allograft outcomes. METHODS: The promoter regions of CXCR1 and CXCR2 were sequenced directly to find SNPs. Reporter gene assay was performed to...
