[Phenotype profile of blood lymphocytes in bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation].

Abstract excerpt

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) remains the major complication in long-term survivors with lung transplants, occurring in up to 30% of them. As a non-invasive follow-up of lung recipients, we studied the phenotype of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets. Using a flow cytometric analysis, we could define a specific pattern during BO.
