Özet
Background. This study was designed to determine whether human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related A (MICA) antibody (Ab) production during the first 6 months posttransplantation correlated with long-term graft survival and rejection rate. The study group included 147 first transplantations from either living related (LRDs) or deceased donors (DDs) who were divided into two subgroups: rejection (RG, n = 28) and nonrejection (NRG, n = 119). Serum samples (n = 441) collected from each patient on posttransplant days 30, 90, and 180 were tested for HLA and MICA Ab using the Luminex technique.
