Abstract excerpt
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is related to acute rejection and graft loss after kidney transplantation, though the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Some CMV strains produce a peptide that is identical to a peptide sequence found in the leader peptide of specific HLA-A and -C alleles. In this retrospective study of 351 kidney transplantations, we explored whether CMV-seropositive recipients without...
