Relationship between post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder and Anti-Thymocyte Globulin or Anti-Lymphocyte Globulin

 Abstract Background: Lymphoproliferative disorders are among the most serious and potentially fatal complications of chronic immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients. The principle risk factors for development of PTLD are the degree of overall immunosuppression and the EBV serostatus of the recipient. In this study, the risk of PTLD in kidney transplant recipients who received Anti- L...

Human Gamma Globulin.

Gamma globulin prophylaxis.

THE importance of infectious hepatitis as a world-wide problem has been highlighted in detail during the presentations made at this symposium. It is clear that as of today (May I 8, I968) there is no published report confirming the isolation of infectious hepatitis virus in a tissue-culture system or animal host. Experience with poliomyelitis, measles, and rubella has revealed that the time int...

Gamma Globulin Turnover and Intestinal Degradation of Gamma Globulin in the Dog.

Increased catabolism of plasma proteins by leakage into the gastrointestinal tract and subsequent digestion by the intestinal enzymes are frequently the causes of hypoproteinemia (1-5). The presence of plasma proteins has been demonstrated both in saliva and in the gastric and intestinal juice of normal individuals; therefore, gastrointestinal leakage of plasma proteins may account for a substa...
