Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) are implicated in endothelial cell-leukocyte adhesion. Several functional polymorphisms that affect the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and therefore post-transplant immunological response, have been found in genes of these molecules. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of ICAM1 and VCAM1 gene...
