title: Study of antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). II. ADCC activity in renal graft recipients and acute accelerated graft rejection.
abstract: 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.
