Study of antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). II. ADCC activity in renal graft recipients and acute accelerated graft rejection.
ADCC activity in 27 cadaver renal allograft recipients was studied. All the patients were given standard immunosuppressive treatment. Significant positive correlation between high ADCC activity during first 5 days after grafting and accelerated rjection crisis was found. The high positive ADCC test may signalize the possibility of acute accelerated rejection of renal allograft.
