Acute rejection profile for recipients who developed antibodies to self-antigens and those who did not.

Variable Auto-antibody positive (n = 72) Auto-antibody negative (n = 36) p
Number of episodes of acute rejection
    Grade ≥ A1, mean ± SD 1.00 ± 1.13 1.33 ± 1.27 0.17
    Grade ≥ A2, mean ± SD 0.56 ± 0.69 0.72 ± 0.94 0.30
    Grade ≥ A3, mean ± SD 0.07 ± 0.26 0.06 ± 0.23 0.77
Highest A grade, mean ± SD 1.14 ± 1.05 1.19 ± 0.98 0.79
Cumulative acute rejection score, mean ± SD 1.64 ± 1.79 2.11 ± 2.23 0.24

There were no episodes of acute rejection grade A4 during the study period in either group.
