Abstract:After lung transplant (LTx), donor specific antibodies (DSAs) to anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) play an important role in antibody mediated rejection (AMR) and subsequent allograft dysfunction. DSAs amplify the immune response via complement-dependent and independent pathways leading to poor outcomes. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a lifethreatening condition with dismal outcomes that is known to complicate hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). Although its etiology remains unknown, lung tissue i… Show more
