The susceptibility of xenografts to hyperacute rejection is postulated to reflect in part failure
of complement regulatory proteins (CRPs) to control activation of heterologous complement …

Successful lung transplantation has been limited by the high incidence of acute graft rejection.
There is mounting evidence that the stress response gene heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and/…

We characterize a line of transgenic pigs that express the human complement-regulatory
proteins human CD59 and human decay-accelerating factor. These genes, under the control of …

Background . Alemtuzumab is being increasingly used for the prevention and/or treatment of
acute allograft rejection in organ transplant recipients. We assessed the risks of infection in, …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to the development of interstitial fibrosis and tubular
atrophy seen in chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). As molecular hydrogen gas can act …

Background Conventional regimens of immunosuppressive drugs often do not prevent
chronic rejection after lung transplantation. Topical delivery of cyclosporine in addition to …

The clinical utility of Platelia™Aspergillus galactomannan antigen for the early diagnosis of
invasive aspergillosis was prospectively assessed in 70 consecutive lung transplant …

Objective Lung transplantation is a viable, life‐saving intervention for several primary
pulmonary disorders complicated by severe lung dysfunction. This study was undertaken to …

Background. The clinical utility of Platelia Aspergillus enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for
galactomannan (GM) antigen detection in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for the diagnosis of …

Medical gases are pharmaceutical gaseous molecules which offer solutions to medical
needs and include traditional gases, such as oxygen and nitrous oxide, as well as gases with …
