Late Antibody-Mediated Rejection in a Large Prospective Cross-Sectional Study of Kidney Allograft Recipients--Preliminary Results of the Screening Phase of the BORTEJECT Trial.

We demonstrate that the more frequent finding of circulating DSA may not necessarily associate with ABMR diagnosis, especially in patients with low antibody levels.
