The effect of liver transplantation on natural killer cell function

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Liver transplantation (LT) is a definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular cancer. As donor-recipient HLA matching is not employed, there is potential for natural killer (NK) cell-mediated alloreactivity. In practise this is not observed, and to date the recipient NK response to LT has not been characterized. This thesis describes a detailed investigation into LT recipient NK cell phenotyp...
