Impact of cardiac surgery on the expression of CD40, CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR on B cells and monocytes

Abstract

All the types of cardiac surgical techniques, off-pump, on-pump and modified mini-invasive on-pump, are associated with changes in CD80, CD86, CD40 and HLA-DR expression. We found several significant differences in the expression of the selected molecules when we compared all three groups of patients.
