摘要
Much progress has been made in understanding the processes underlying antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of transplanted organs. In this Review, the authors discuss the role of the complement system in acute and chronic AMR, with specific emphasis on renal transplantation, and describe studies demonstrating that blockade of terminal complement activation can prevent AMR in sensitized renal transplant recipients.
