title: Antibodies to donor B lymphocytes and autoantibodies in renal transplantation.
abstract: A positive CDC B-lymphocyte XM is not deleterious to long-term graft outcome. A positive unfractionated CDC XM is not a contraindication to transplantation if the positive crossmatch is due entirely to anti-B-lymphocyte antibody. B-lymphocyte autoantibodies are common in hemodialysis patients, but may account for only a minority of positive B-lymphocyte XMs.
