Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that cell-mediated immunity to vascular endothelium is associated with the development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). The mechanism by which a cell-mediated immune response to the coronary vascular is translated into the development of CAV is, however unknown...
