Spatial differences in the presence of FOXP3+ and GranzymeB+ T cells between the intra- and extravascular compartments in renal allograft vasculopathy.

Spatial differences in the presence of FOXP3+ and GranzymeB+ T cells between the intra- and extravascular compartments in renal allograft vasculopathy.

BACKGROUND: Allograft vasculopathy (AV) and native atherosclerosis (NA) share the presence of a T-cell mediated inflammatory response, but differ in overall plaque morphology and growth rate.
