ABSTRACT
Chronic rejection remains the leading cause of chronic allograft dysfunction and late mortality after lung transplantation. Adaptive immune system and its cellular-based rejection has been the focus in the development of obliterative bronchiolitis. Recent research has identified that humoral immunity, autoimmunity, and innate immunity also contribute to obliterative bronchiolitis. This paper presents an updated review of the immune mechanisms for obliterative bronchiolitis following lung transplantation.
