Microvascular loss is associated with an increase in graft T cells infiltration: a, b Immunofluorescent staining for CD4⁺, and CD8⁺ at 10 post-transplantation. c Quantitative RT-PCR analysis shows fold change in IL-2 and TNF-α mRNA at d10 post-transplantation. d Flow cytometry analysis of peripheral lymphocytes (CD4⁺, and CD8⁺) at d10 post-transplantation. Data are presented as means with SE of 6–12 transplants/time point/experiment. *p < 0.05
