Role of antibodies to self-antigens in chronic allograft rejection: potential mechanism and therapeutic implications.

Significant progress has been made in preventing acute allograft rejection following solid organ transplantation resulting in improved allograft survival. However, long term function still remains disappointing primarily due to chronic allograft rejection. Alloimmune responses primarily defined by the development of antibodies (Abs) to donor mismatched major histocompatibility antigens during t...

Self-antigens and rejection: a proteomic analysis.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Allo- and autoantibodies have been found to play important roles in both acute and chronic allograft rejection in organ transplantation, although only recently have non-human leukocyte antigen (non-HLA), nondonor-specific antibodies been given a more in-depth treatment. This review summarizes recent reports about investigations and proteomic approaches to identify self-antigen...

Chronic allograft rejection: A significant hurdle to transplant success

The state-of-the-art immunosuppression drugs do not ensure indefinite transplant survival, and most transplants are continuously lost to chronic rejection even years posttransplantation. This form of rejection is responsible for long-term failure of transplanted organs. The mechanisms involved in development of chronic rejection are not well-understood. One of the main features of chronic rejec...

A novel Th subset — termed Th IL-17 , Th17, or infl ammatory Th — has bee...
