Abstract
We describe a striking colocalization of CXCL13 expression with CXCR5- and CD20-positive B cells in renal transplants undergoing rejection. This is the first study demonstrating a potential role of CXCL13 and its specific receptor CXCR5 in recruitment of B cells in renal allograft rejection.
