Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) glycoprotein B (gB) and acute rejection after transplantation. Seventy‐seven consecutive renal transplant recipients in a D + /R+ setting were studied. Biopsy‐proven rejection occurred in 35% of the recipients. Among these recipients, 85% had antibodies against CMV gB. The rate of acute rejection was significantly higher in recipients with antibodies against gB than in those without them. Antibodies against gB can be a useful predictor of acute rejection in renal transplant recipients in a D + /R+ setting.
