Early CMV-specific T cell immune reconstitution after kidney transplantation: A prospective AIM-based cohort study.
OBJECTIVES Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a major cause of morbidity following kidney transplantation (KT). We applied flow cytometry-based phenotyping and activation-induced marker (AIM) assays to characterize early immune reconstitution and CMV-specific T-cell dynamics after KT and to determine whether early AIM respo...
