From Keenan et al (see text above).

^*One patient had persistently low pre- and posttransplant MLR responses.

^†In vitro immune testing was only possible in five of seven recipients: of the five tested, one had persistently low pre- and posttransplant MLR responses (perfectly matched MHC class II).
