Validation assay showing increased levels of miR-885-5p in operational tolerance. Following the detection of higher levels of miR-885-5p in OT compared to chronic rejection in the global analysis, we performed a validation experiment by individual quantitative real-time PCR, using a specific primer for miR-885-5p, in a larger number of study subjects, using individual samples (OT n = 8, CR n = 12, HI n = 12; OT, operational tolerance; CR, chronic rejection; HI, Healthy individuals). Values are expressed as 2ΔΔCt for miR-885-5p serum levels. For the statistical calculation we used the Kruskal-Wallis method followed by the Dunns post-test, and the results were considered significant if p < 0.05. **p = 0.0063 (OT × CR) and 0.0035 (OT × HI).
