TLDR
It is concluded that the dominant histopathological feature of hepatic allograft rejection is progressive, nonsuppurative destructive cholangitis, culminating in the disappearance of interlobular bile ducts.

The human cytomegalovirus.

TL;DR: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a betaherpesvirus, represents the major infectious cause of birth defects, as well as an important pathogen for immunocompromised individuals and contributes to graft loss independently from graft rejection.

Cytomegalovirus infection and donor/recipient hla antigens: interdependent co-factors in pathogenesis of vanishing bileduct syndrome after liver transplantation

TL;DR: The association between VBDS and active CMV infection was not a consequence of alterations in immunosuppressive therapy and the findings would be consistent with precipitation of chronic rejection by CMV-induced HLA antigen expression in patients rendered susceptible by the donor/recipient Hla antigen match.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis and hepatobiliary disease

TL;DR: Subsequent investigation into defining the cellular regulatory mechanisms and biochemical processes involved will be fertile ground for future research that may ultimately lead to novel therapeutic approaches for autoimmune diseases, malignancies, and viral disease.

Chronic graft-versus-host syndrome in man: A long-term clinicopathologic study of 20 seattle patients

TL;DR: Three patients had limited chronic GVHD with relatively favorable prognosis characterized by localized skin involvement and/or hepatic disease without chronic aggressive histology, but most patients, however, had extensive disease with a progressive course.

Role of aberrant hla-dr expression and antigen presentation in induction of endocrine autoimmunity

TL;DR: This mechanism of autoimmune disease induction explains vague associations with viral infections and long latency periods before disease becomes manifest and gives a simple explanation for the well-documented association between HLA-DR and autoimmune diseases in man.

Evolution of Liver Transplantation

TL;DR: This work aims to provide a clear picture of the immune system’s role in the development of central giant cell granuloma and the role that these cells play in the progression of disease.

Recombinant interferon-gamma increases HLA-DR synthesis and expression.

TL;DR: It is reported here that recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-Gamma) increases the synthesis and expression of the HLA-DR (la-like) antigens as well as beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m), a low m.w. subunit of HLA, on human melanoma cells.

Aberrant expression of HLA-DR antigens on bileduct epithelium in primary biliary cirrhosis: relevance to pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The increased HLA-A,B,C, expression may be a means of amplifying T-cell cytotoxic responses in PBC and enables these cells to present "self antigens" to sensitised T-lymphocytes and to promote autorecognition.
