With the appropriate combined use of different immune monitoring techniques, it is possible to derive sensitive diagnostic parameters for the transplant surgeon. However, the core biopsy or cytological examination of the graft continues to represent the gold standard for evaluating the specificity and sensitivity of these methods. With the development of newer monoclonal antibodies and a better understanding of the impact of immune processes on the behavior of various activation linked, T cell associated surface antigens, one may be able to secure further valuable information, with enhanced diagnostic and prognostic accuracy.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane. ABH Blood Group,ABO Blood Group,ABO Factors,Blood Group H Type 1 Antigen,H Blood Group,H Blood Group System,ABO Blood Group System,Blood Group, ABH,Blood Group, ABO,Blood Group, H,Blood-Group System, ABO,Factors, ABO,System, ABO Blood-Group
D014181 Transplantation Immunology A general term for the complex phenomena involved in allo- and xenograft rejection by a host and graft vs host reaction. Although the reactions involved in transplantation immunology are primarily thymus-dependent phenomena of cellular immunity, humoral factors also play a part in late rejection. Immunology, Transplantation
D015166 Monitoring, Immunologic Testing of immune status in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer, immunoproliferative and immunodeficiency disorders, and autoimmune abnormalities. Changes in immune parameters are of special significance before, during and following organ transplantation. Strategies include measurement of tumor antigen and other markers (often by RADIOIMMUNOASSAY), studies of cellular or humoral immunity in cancer etiology, IMMUNOTHERAPY trials, etc. Immune Monitoring,Immunologic Monitoring,Immunosurveillance,Monitoring, Immune,Monitoring, Radioimmunologic,Monitoring, Immunological,Monitoring, Radioimmunological,Radioimmunologic Monitoring,Immunological Monitoring,Radioimmunological Monitoring
