Study pinpoints molecular targets of transplant rejection (IMAGE)
Caption
Figure 1: The research team discovered that self-peptides pairing with foreign MHC molecules are recognised by donor-reactive T cells, leading to transplant rejection. Figure 2: If the same applies in humans this discovery could be used as the basis of a diagnostic test to accurately distinguish the presence of donor reactive T cells from all other T cells present
