AIM To investigate the rates of pretransplantation fetalmaternal microchimerism(MC) and its effect on rejection in children receiving maternal liver grafts. METHODS DNA or blood samples before liver transplantation(LT...
Maternal-fetal cell exchange during pregnancy results in acquisition of microchimerism, which can durably persist in both recipients. Naturally acquired microchimerism may impact maternal-fetal interaction in pregnanc...

Fetal cell microchimerism refers to the persistence of fetal cells in the maternal tissues following pregnancy. It has been detected in peripheral organs and the brain, but its existence in the spinal cord has not bee...
Aim: To correlate obstetric data with the appearance of antithyroid antibodies. Methods: A 6 months follow up was performed on 135 healthy women with assessment of TSH, T3, T4 and antithyroid antibodies (anti thyroglo...
BACKGROUND: In the mouse skin allograft model, specific immune tolerance to the donor was induced by injection of donor hepatic non-parenchymal cells (NPCs). This markedly prolonged the survival time of the allograft....
Aim:To examine whether the existence of the donor-and recipient-derived DNA chimerism in recipient's plasma can be a predictive marker for the status of transplanted organ.Methods:One hundred and twenty-six female pat...
