ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of perforin and granzyme B in peripheral blood lymphocytes during acute rejection in renal transplantation.Methods Sixty-seven recipients of renal allograft were involved in the study.The recipients were divided into four groups group 1 with 7 cases of acute rejection,group 2 with 8 cases of delayed graft function,group 3 with 27 cases of stable function and group 4 wih 25 cases of long-term survival.The expressions of perforin and granzyme B of peripheral blood lymphocytes were studied by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results The expressions of perforin and granzyme B in acute rejection group were significantly higher than those of the other three groups(P
