CYTOTOXIC LYMPHOCYTE GENE EXPRESSION IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD LEUKOCYTES CORRELATES WITH REJECTING RENAL ALLOGRAFTS1

Abstract

Coordinate CL gene expression in PBLs and the allograft is usually detected. CL gene expression in PBLs is closely associated with a pathologic diagnosis of rejection. CL gene expression in PBLs may serve as a noninvasive method of monitoring for renal allograft rejection.
