Molecular Classifier of Antibody-Mediated Rejection Is a Better Predictor of Histologic Rejection Than a Corresponding Transcript Set and Is Further Improved When Combined with Classifiers of Rejection Syndromes.
K. Famulski, P. Halloran.
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Molecular and histologic changes in graft rejection are not completely specific, often being induced by injuries and other diseases. We examined various methods for using…
