TL;DR: The primary MLR of the rat was used to generate suppressor, cytotoxic, and helper T cells from lymph node cells of the WF (RT1 mu) inbred strain, and suppression by MLR cellular products was antigen-specific and generation and functional expression were directed to class II ( RT1.B,D) antigens of stimulator cells in the strains tested.

TL;DR: Serologic testing for either screening or case-finding purposes, dialysis procedures, renal transplantation, and seroepidemiologic research must be conducted with great attention to specificity; serum samples frozen for prolonged periods are especially likely to be nonspecifically ELISA positive.

TL;DR: Neither the presence of HLA antibodies nor DSA translated to an increased risk of allograft dysfunction or death if prospective crossmatch testing was negative, and Prospective studies are needed to define the impact of pretransplant sensitization on lung transplant recipients.
