Objective: Antibodies against HLA class I and II antigens are important in kidney transplantations because they cause rejections. Not only antibodies against HLA antigens but also those against non-HLA antigenic system play a role in antibody mediated rejections. In this study it was aimed to detect HLA-and non-HLA antibodies in individuals that experienced rejection attack. Method: Thirteen patients, who clinically experienced rejection episodes according to the biochemical test results after transplantation, were tested by lymphocyte crossmatch (by using the lymphocytes of their living related donors) and non-HLA specific anti-endothelial crossmatch methods. Results: Antibodies specific for Tie-2 receptor positive cells were not detected. The results of XM-ONE cross-match and flow crossmatch tests were found to be compatible with each other. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was considered that immunosuppressive treatment protocols and surgical complications play important role in rejection attacks. Further studies can contributed to determination of graft survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
