Abstract
The Cylex ImmuKnow assay levels were lower in infected lung transplant recipients compared with non-infected recipients and increased with treatment of these infections. It remains unclear whether the ImmuKnow assay reflects over-immunosuppressed individuals at risk of infection or bone marrow suppression by infectious agents. Further investigation will determine the role of the ImmuKnow assay in tailoring immunosuppression in lung transplant recipients.
