Abstract
A series of 221 endomyocardial biopsies (EMB), taken from 21 patients after heart transplantation, was analyzed for the presence of immunoglobulin/immune complex deposits. Data were correlated with histology (grading following Billingham) and cytoimmunologic monitoring (CIM) on blood samples (grading into negative, rejection, or infection, based on leukocyte morphology and T cell phenotype). IgM deposits and IgG/IgM complexes in blood capillaries around myocyte fibrils were found in 78 and 40 EMB, respectively. This feature was more prevalent in EMB with a histology of rejection (39 out of 52 biopsies).Entities:
