Our center had a case of a 20-year old female with severe bi-ventricular dysfunction, leading to heart transplantation. Strong GSTT1 antibody was detected pre-transplant, which encouraged us to further study its possible significance. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a class of enzymes that metabolize xenobiotics. We hypothesized that high-titer non-HLA antibodies to GSTT1 can be generated in recipients who...
