Abstract
Current treatment for antibody-mediated kidney transplant rejection is inadequate. Tillou and colleagues administered recombinant C1 inhibitor to block complement activation to prevent antibody-initiated injury in sensitized baboon recipients of kidney allografts. These early but encouraging results support further testing of the safety and efficacy of complement inhibition as part of a comprehensive strategy to treat this disease, both in animal models and ultimately in humans.
