“…3-6,10 A previous study from our institution confirmed this disparity in our patient population before the era of AL induction therapy. 5 The current investigation demonstrated that induction with AL, a powerful antibody that depletes B and T lymphocytes, levels this disparity in a pilot study of renal allograft survival.…”

“…1,2 In renal transplantation, numerous studies have demonstrated that African Americans (AA) have lower rates of allograft survival than those of white counterparts. [3][4][5] Butkus et al 6 at the University of Mississippi were the first to analyze the origins of this racial disparity among renal transplant recipients in the era of modern multidrug immunosuppression and antithymocyte induction. Modern immunosuppression has improved short-term graft outcomes but the inferior long-term outcome in AA has largely persisted.…”

“…Due to lack of the Y chromosome in women, antigens coded for by the Y chromosome are recognized as foreign when organ transplantation occurs from a male donor to a female recipient (McGee et al, 2010(McGee et al, , 2011. While this does not manifest immunologically as strongly as HLA incompatibility, it does have an effect of having shorter graft survival when an organ is taken from a male donor and transplanted to a female recipient (McGee et al, 2010).…”
