Abstract
The half-life of transplanted kidneys is <10 years. Acute or chronic rejections have a negative impact on transplant outcome. Therefore, achieving to allograft tolerance for improving long-term transplant outcome is a desirable goal of transplantation field. In contrast, there are evidence that distinct immunological characteristics lead to tolerance in some transplant recipients. In contrast, the main reason for allograft loss is immunological responses. Various immune cells including T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, natural killer, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells damage graft tissue and, thereby, graft loss happens. Therefore, being armed with the comprehensive knowledge about either preimmunological or postimmunological characteristics of renal transplant patients may help us to achieve an operational tolerance. In the present study, we are going to review and discuss immunological characteristics of renal transplant recipients with rejection and compare them with tolerant subjects.
