Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) cells express the Fc-gamma receptor CD16 (FCGR3A) and could therefore mediate renal endothelial cell damage in cases of chronic-active antibody mediated rejection (c-aABMR). The V/V-genotype of the FCGR3A 158 F/V polymorphism is associated with increased CD16 expression and cytotoxicity by NK cells. This study evaluated whether this genotype is associated with the diagnosis of c-aABMR and...
