Figure 2.

Quantitative analysis of IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, P, GB, and FasL gene expression in 38 transplant core biopsies taken to aid in the differential diagnosis of graft dysfunction. Biopsies were also obtained from 2 donor kidneys prior to reperfusion. Lines indicate sequential biopsies taken during the course of rejection before and after treatment (ACR, acute cellular rejection; NR, nonrejecting kidneys with acute tubular necrosis or cyclosporine cytotoxicity; CR, chronic rejection; INF REC, infectious complications and recurrence of primary disease; and VASC, vascular complications).
