From: Inhibition of complement improves graft outcome in a pig model of kidney autotransplantation
Immunofluorescent evaluation of complement deposition in kidney biopsies at 30 min post-transplant: C4d, MASP and MBL. Needle biopsies were performed 30 min after unclamping (45 min post injection) and processed for cryopreservation. Slides were evaluated by fluorescent microscopy by a trained nephropathologist. CTL: Healthy kidney; Vehicle (VEH): injected with vehicle 15 min before unclamping; rhC1INH: Injected with 500 U/kg rhC1INH 15 min before unclamping (n = 7). a Representative staining for C4d; top row glomerular staining; bottom row tubular staining. b Representative staining for MASP. c Representative staining for MBL.
