NK cell missing self in microvascular inflammation with and without donor-specific antibodies.

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Microvascular inflammation (MVI), a histological hallmark of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), is typically associated with donor-specific antibodies (DSA), but can also occur in their absence. Evidence implicates Natural Killer (NK) cells in DSA-negative MVI, although the mechanisms underlyi...
