Endothelial Cell Activation Contributes to the Release of Procoagulant Microparticles During Acute Cardiac Allograft Rejection

The pattern of procoagulant microparticles released during acute allograft rejection suggests endothelial cell activation and Fas-mediated apoptosis. E-selectin-bearing microparticles appeared as an independent marker of acute allograft rejection that was still informative after adjustment for graft characteristics.
