Abstract excerpt
Kidney allograft survival remains poorer in Black compared to White recipients due to racial differences in calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) pharmacology. P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ABC efflux transporter expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), modulates CNI pharmacokinetics and intracellular pharmacology. This study investigated P-gp function in PBMC ex vivo at 0 (trough), 4, 8, and 12 h in stable...
