Abstract

The most common organ-specific manifestation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after liver transplantation is hepatitis. Here we retrospectively describe the detailed virological, histological, immunological, and clinical findings associated with CMV infection in 229 consecutive adult liver transplantation patients. CMV infection was diagnosed by pp65 antigenemia. From 439 liver biopsies, CMV antigens were demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and CMV DNA by hybridization. The Banff criteria were used for histology. The expression of various adhesion molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-1], endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 [ELAM-1]), their ligands (leukocyte function antigen-1 [LFA-1], very late antigen-4 [VLA-4], Sialyl-LewisX-molecule [SLeX]), and lymphoid activation markers (major histocompatibility complex [MHC] Class II, interleukin-2-receptor [IL-2R]) was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. CMV infection of the transplant occurred in 26 patients (11% of all 229 patients and 17% of the 151 patients with liver biopsy). The incidence was higher among seronegative (26%) than in seropositive recipients (9%), but most cases 18/26 (70%) were reactivations. The ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
