Abstract
Angiotensin II type-1 receptor antibody (AT1R-Ab) has been mooted as a potential effector of both acute and chronic antibody mediated rejection (AMR). A growing body of literature on the topic is now coming under scrutiny in the context of the evolving Banff AMR diagnostic classification system and refinement of recommendations for histocompatibility testing by the Sensitization in Transplantation Assessment of Risk (STAR) workgroup. This mini-review discusses the latest understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical evidence for the pathogenicity of AT1R-Ab, and methods of laboratory testing.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to serve as a forum for the exchange of scientific information in the form of original and high quality papers in the field of transplantation. Clinical and experimental studies, as well as editorials, letters to the editors, and, occasionally, reviews on the biology, physiology, and immunology of transplantation of tissues and organs, are published. Publishing time for the latter is approximately six months, provided major revisions are not needed. The journal is published in yearly volumes, each volume containing twelve issues. Papers submitted to the journal are subject to peer review.
