Expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in human chronic renal allograft rejection / 中华器官移植杂志

ABSTRACT

To study the mechanism of human chronic renal allograft rejection, kidney tissues were taken from 16 patients with chronic renal allograft rejection and from 5 healthy subjects, and underwent the frazed section staining for ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 to anti-ICAM-1 and anti-VCAM-1 respectively by using immunohistochemistry(ABC).The results showed that there were differ-ent distribution of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression in nomal kidney and renal allograft during chronic rejection.It was suggested that ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of human chronic renal allograft rejection.
