Pathway Analysis for Discovery of Rejection Mechanism and Biomarkers…

In this pilot study, we found a list of genes significantly down-regulated in the peripheral blood in the rejection states in three small-bowel-transplant patients. Our hypothesis, derived from this project, is that down-regulation of translation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells occurs early during the course of rejection and correlates with the severity of the rejection episode as determined by concurrent graft biopsies.
