Novel data identified NK cell count in BAL as a promising marker to assess lung transplant recipients. Patients with an episode of acute lung AR showed decreased numbers of NK cells. These data remain to be confirmed. Since NK cells are not measured in most lung transplant centres to date, clinical feasibility of such an assay has to be investigated.
