Advances in research on antibody-mediated rejection after liver transplantation

T cell- and antibody-mediated immunity are also called cellular and humoral immunity, respectively. Both cellular and humoral immunity are known to mediate the rejection after allogeneic/xenogeneic organ transplantation. Liver transplantation is the most common type of organ transplantation. At present, many studies have shown that antibody-mediated immunity plays an important role in the development of rejection after liver transplantation. In this article, we will review the recent advances in understanding the basic theory, mechanism, pathological diagnosis and treatment of antibody-mediated rejection after liver transplantation.
