pubmed:abstractText
Not all patients with complement deposition of the heart have developed hemodynamic instability at the time of diagnosis, suggesting that immunoprotective mechanisms reside within grafts. We hypothesized that decay-accelerating factor (DAF) could provide a first-line defense against complement injury, thus explaining the discrepancy in hemodynamics. Thus, we examined the role of DAF in the clinical presentation of antibody-mediated cardiac allograft rejection.
