Can immunohistological analysis of transbronchial biopsy specimens predict responder status in early acute rejection of lung allografts?

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) in the early posttransplant period is recognized as one predictor of the development of bronchiolitis obliterans in lung transplant recipients. Using an immunohistochemical panel of antibodies to CD3, L26, HLA-DR, collagenase IV, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCN...

Zusammenfassung:Acute cellular rejection (ACR) in the early posttransplant period is recognized as one predictor of the development of bronchiolitis obliterans in lung transplant recipients. Using an immunohistochemical panel of antibodies to CD3, L26, HLA-DR, collagenase IV, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), KPI, and S100 antigens we analyzed cases of moderate ACR that did respond (n = 11) and that did not respond (n = 10) to bolus solumedrol therapy early in the postoperative period (
