Research summary

In summary our research has revealed that heart transplant rejection may not be only T cell mediated. Rather, macrophages may play an important role.
In particular, the upregulation of CCL17 and CCL22 and the down regulation of IL-6 hormones may be clear indicators of acute and eventual chronic rejection in heart transplant recipients.
