Methods Expression of HLA-G on leucocyte subpopulations was studied in a group of 21 renal transplant patients immediately prior to and 2 month post-transplantation. Results Significant increases in proportions of total HLA-G+CD4+ T cells were seen (0.5+/-0.1% to 7.9+/-3.2%; p SN - 2577-5820 UR - https://doi.org/10.21926/obm.transplant.1804032 DO - 10.21926/obm.transplant.1804032 ID - Christmas2018 ER -
