Association of genetic polymorphisms of macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) and B-cell activating factor (BAFF) with the detection of donor specific antibodies in kidney allograft recipients.

Abstract excerpt

The posttransplant development of donor specific antibodies (DSA) initiates the antibody mediated rejection (AMR), which is associated with the increased rate of graft loss. One of the characteristics of AMR is the infiltration of innate immune system including macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils or NK cells. Macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) and B-cell activating factor (BAFF) are well known cytokines that are...
