Impact of Organ Donor Pretreatment With Anti-Thymocyte Globulin in a Murine Model of Allogenic Kidney Transplantation by An He, An He, Yiren Yang, Katja Kotsch, Arne Sattler

“…In line with this, serum creatinine and urea levels were similar in animals receiving kidneys from ATG treated donors or controls, demonstrating that donor treatment had no effect on allograft function in the early post-transplantation phase. In summary, our findings are suggestive of a more cell-type-specific depletion strategy in concert with an experimental model better reflecting aspects of clinical transplantation.…”
