Polyomavirus Infection Augments the CD8 T Cell Response Against Antigens Expressed by Transplanted Kidneys
Our previous work has shown that in mice polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) requires both acute infection with mouse polyomavirus (MPyV) and an intact alloimmune response. The…2013 American Transplant Congress
Does CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Equation Have Stronger Predictive Power for Long-Term Kidney Graft Survival?
Background: eGFR measured by the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation is well-known to be more accurate than MDRD equation in chronic renal disease…2013 American Transplant Congress
