Evolution of soluble forms of CD86, CD95 and CD95L molecules in liver transplant recipients

► The levels of sCD86, sCD95 and sCD95L molecules in liver recipients were analyzed. ► We compared sCD86, sCD95 and sCD95L levels considering acute rejection episodes. ► High pre-transplant levels of sCD86 were associated with acute rejection. ► Patients with HCV or HBV showed higher pre-transplant levels of sCD86 and sCD95L.
