Abstract excerpt
Acute rejection is a common phenomenon in transplantation. Inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators affect the graft microenvironment. Th1 responses cause acute rejection while Th2 immune responses help the survival of the graft. In this study, we evaluated gene polymorphisms of IL-6 G-174C, TGF-β T+869C, IL-4 C-590T, and IFN-γ T+874A cytokines in renal transplant patients. ARMS-PCR method was used to...
