title: Lost in translation? Microchimersim detection in experimental and clinical transplantation.
abstract: The importance of further elucidating the properties surrounding microchimerism in various experi- mental models and clinical transplantation are limited by current techniques and the sensitivity of available platforms. Development of reliable methods and use routine use of microchimerism detection in clinical practice could guide clinical decision making regarding rejection, stable function, and tolerance.
