title: OKT4 epitope correlates with renal allograft survival in African Americans.
abstract: Flow cytometry was used to type the distribution of OKT4 and OKT4A epitopes in a population of African American renal allograft recipients. The prevalence of the OKT4A epitope is more common than previously described and is associated with increased graft survival.
