TL;DR: Recipients with obliterative bronchiolitis detected in the preclinical stage were significantly more likely to be in remission than recipients who had clinical disease at the time of diagnosis and results indicate that acute rejection is the most significant risk factor for development of obliteration and that obliteration responds to treatment with augmented immunosuppression when it is detected early by surveillance transbronchial biopsy.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a limited number of activated T-cell clones predominate at the site of tissue injury in rheumatoid synovial membranes as well as in other types of destructive inflammatory joint disease.

TL;DR: An algorithm for identifying acceptable HLA antigens for highly alloimmunized patients without the need for extensive serum screening is described, suitable especially for allosensitized patients in need of a compatible transplant or platelet transfusion.

TL;DR: The eplet version of HLAMatchmaker represents therefore a more complete repertoire of structurally defined HLA epitopes and provides a more detailed assessment of HLA compatibility.

TL;DR: This report advocates selection of crossmatch negative donors on the basis of the Acceptable Mismatch Program, as the first and best option for highly sensitized patients to undergo transplantations.
