Application of immune induction therapy with antibodies in liver transplantation / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Immune induction therapy with antibodies has been widely applied in liver transplantation. This paper introduces common antibodies for immune induction and their application in liver transplantation, and points out that immune induction therapy with antibodies reduces the dosage of hormones and calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine and tacrolimus), reduces infections effectively, protects renal function, prevents acute rejection reaction, and finally improves the prognosis of transplant recipients. The effect of immune induction therapy with antibodies on hepatitis and liver cancer still needs further investigation.Key words：liver transplantation；immunity induction；therapy
