Abstract
In this study, specific subendothelial C4d deposition was a marker for the involvement of HLA-Ab in lung allograft rejection. The patchy nature, low sensitivity, and specificity of C4d staining might limit clinical use in protocol biopsies. However, in patients with decreasing pulmonary function, refractory ACR and/or HLA-Ab, specific C4d deposition may serve as a marker of coexistent AMR.
