Abstract excerpt
Introduction: De novo donor-specific HLA antibodies (dnDSAs) after kidney transplantation arise through coordinated antigen recognition, T-cell-dependent B-cell activation, and subsequent germinal center reactions. Donor-recipient HLA molecular mismatch reflects donor-derived antigenic disparity and is associated with dnDSA development; however, it does not fully explain interindividual variability in humoral...
