Chronic Antibody Mediated Rejection: Identification of mechanisms and diagnostic proteins
FY 2013-14
Summary
Antibody-mediated rejection is one of the major reasons why patients loose their kidney grafts after transplant. This project will determine which proteins are the targets of antibodies that cause antibody-mediated rejection. In addition novel diagnostic blood tests will be developed to detect antibody-mediated rejection prior to them causing the kidney to malfunction or sustain damage which cannot be repaired. This early detection may allow for clinicians to intervene early and thereby improve transplant and patient survival.
