title: MP 48 expression in red blood cells of renal transplant recipients.
abstract: MP48 is a protein expressed in diseased kidney sections but not in normal kidney sections. It is also expressed in the spleen, liver and pancrease but not in the erythrocytes of healthy persons. This study shows that MP48 is expressed in the erythrocytes of renal transplant recipients using an EPICS-C flow cytometer (Coulter Immunology). The expression of this antigen amongst renal transplant recipients reveals some pathological and immunological alteration amongst renal transplant recipients for the production of MP48 protein.
